If I order web hosting today, how much time will it take for it to be ready to use?
If you’re paying with a credit/debit card or using Paypal, your web hosting will be ready momentarily.
If you’re paying through online banking, i.e. via bank transaction, we’ll initiate the creation of your web hosting account as soon as the amount appears on our account, or as soon as you send us a payment confirmation. In order to accelerate the process of creating your hosting service following a bank transaction payment, please send us the payment confirmation to our e-mail address info@mydataknox.com.

A dedicated server is a physical server that uses hardware resources that are accessible only to you, and you have full control over the server. Dedicated servers offer you a strong, reliable hardware, located at our cutting-edge data centre, which is cost-saving since there are no expenses regarding the procurement of a server, placing it in a data centre and maintaining it.

Our support team is available to you 24 hours a day for anything you might need regarding web hosting. Apart from the standard support we offer related to our web hosting service, we’ll do our best to help you regardless of whether your issue is related to our area of support.

Most domain extensions contain up to 60 characters, but keep in mind that a domain name should not be that long.
The point is for the domain to describe you or your activity in as few characters as possible.

Of course. You can change the password at any time within the server itself or through your MyDataKnox user website for server management.

If you provide web hosting services, it’s extremely important to secure and stabilise the servers you’re using. Even if you’re not offering web hosting services, but you require the option to isolate your users, CloudLinux is the perfect choice.

All domain-related options, including management, are at our disposal at the MyDataKnox user portal. You can access the user portal by signing up or logging in.

Depending on the selected operating system, you can manage VPS setting using the Remote Desktop (Windows) or SSH (Linux). You can also install a web hosting control system, such as cPanel or CentOS Web Panel. You can access basic options, such as starting, restarting, stopping, selecting an IP address, server name etc. through the MyDataKnox user site.

When you order VPS, you can select your preferred operating system (Linux or Windows). You can see the entire list of available operating systems on our website.

Yes. The total number of users on a cPanel server, in terms of licenses, is determined by the number of active and suspended users on that server. Therefore, cPanel checks the number of users on a server and counts them, whether they are active or suspended.

All MyDataKnox dedicated servers include full administrator privileges, at least one public IP address, a console and a 1 Gbps network port.

MyDataKnox offers Windows and Linux dedicated servers with different operating systems to choose from. We offer many Linux distributions, such as CentOS, Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu, and in terms of Windows servers, we offer Windows Server 2016 Standard.

The service is paid for on a monthly basis, and the amount depends solely on the number of e-mail accounts you create and the size of leased space.

MyDataKnox premium support is a service consisting of expanded technical support for virtual and dedicated servers and encompasses additional activities in relation to standard support.

MyDataKnox provides support with server configuration and maintenance; however, the applications you install on the server are not included in our support area. You can contact our support team via telephone or by sending an inquiry using your MyDataKnox user control panel. Our technical staff will act in case of hardware issues, and they can also assist you with VPS configuration to a certain degree. However, our support team can’t help you with your software configuration on VPS, such as with ERP, CRM applications and other business applications that are unrelated with the service itself.

Of course. All our servers include full administrator privileges.

We’ll provide you with a free trial period of 48 hours. All you need to do is contact us and request a trial period or mention that you want to try out the service when you’re finishing your order.

JetBackup is a leading security solution for cPanel which enables quick and efficient creation of incremental backup copies of cPanel user accounts. Settings such as automatic creation of back copies and data recovery are also included in its transparent interface. JetBackup enables you, the administrator, to create many filters which help you define the details related to all material system settings.

CloudLinux resolves many issues that hosting companies and individuals face. Here are a few:

• The server is loaded and losing resources
  LVE virtualization offers you control over server resources, including the CPU, IO, memory, inodes, the number of processes and connections that each individual cPanel account can use.
• Server breaches and malicious scripts
  CageFS isolates every user and makes them invisible to each other within the system. It also prevents a great number of attacks, including most attacks performed through privilege escalation.
• The user requires different PHP versions
  PHP Selector provides premium flexibility by offering the users all the popular versions of PHP, which enables them to keep old scripts without the obligation to use newer PHP versions or change the code of their website.
• MySQL server is overloaded
  MySQL Governor pinpoints problematic users and limits them in real time. It’s an unprecedented solution in the industry.
• Symbolic link attacks
  SecureLinks prevents all known symlink attacks at the kernel level.

cPanel builds on WHM, and, unlike WHM which is designed for the administration of the server and all its accounts, cPanel is a control panel for the end user, i.e. a centre for managing individual hosting accounts.

Some basic benefits of cPanel are:

• simple installation of hundreds of different scripts and web applications, such as WordPress, Joomla, various forums, project management systems, etc.
• quick e-mail account management and access to an e-mail interface
• creation of an FTP account for the purpose of accessing server files
• autonomous creation of a backup copy with just a few clicks
• easy addition of new domains and creation of subdomains
• assignment of a completely free SSL certificate to each domain
• an overview of detailed statistical information regarding the number of views of hosted websites
• user-friendly management of DNS zones within user accounts
• mobile display of the cPanel interface enables account access and management from any part of the world
• selection of the preferred PHP version separately for each domain
• automated installation of popular CMS systems in just a few clicks
• management of SQL databases and users.

A domain transfer starts with a domain transfer order on our website. Upon ordering a transfer, you’ll need an EPP authorization code for most extensions, which you can get from your existing registrar, and the domain must be unlocked for transfer. After you pay for the transfer, which is necessary since a domain is automatically prolonged for a year upon transfer, you’ll confirm the transfer by clicking on a link sent to you by e-mail. Afterwards, it’ll only take a couple of minutes up to a few days, depending on the registrar and the domain extension, until the transfer is complete.

Of course. All you need to do is redirect the domain to our nameservers mdns1.mydataknox.com and mdns2.mydataknox.com, and configure the necessary scripts on our user interface for DNS script management.

* The nameservers for MyDataKnox DNS service are not the same as the nameservers for web hosting packages.
If you want to point a domain to your MyDataKnox web hosting package, follow these instructions.

Nameservers of MyDataKnox DNS service for users are:

• mdns1.mydataknox.com
• mdns2.mydataknox.com

By directing the domain to the specified nameservers, you will be able to manage the DNS records for the same, if the domain is registered or transferred within the MyDataKnox system.

Generally speaking, content migration is your responsibility, however, our support team will execute the migration for you if it involves transferring content from one cPanel to another, or from one CentOS Web Panel to another. You are free to contact our support team regarding anything else and if your need specific answers.

You can use all the letters of the alphabet, numbers and hyphens.
Even though it’s possible for domain names to contain special characters, such as letters used in languages other than English (e.g. š, đ, ž, ć, č), this should be avoided.

A domain name is arbitrary and you can use any name you prefer, as long as a domain with that name hasn’t already been registered. You can check the availability of your preferred domain here.

The duration of a domain transfer can be divided into two groups:

.hr i com.hr domains
The transfer of these domain extensions is the quickest. Prior to the transfer, the current registrar of the domain must unlock it for transfer, and an order for transfer must be placed with MyDataKnox. After the payment is complete, you’ll receive an e-mail containing a link for transfer confirmation. As soon as you click on the link in the e-mail and confirm the transfer, it should be executed in a matter of minutes.

.com, .net, .org, .biz, .info and other extensions
The transfer of these domains takes 5 to 7 days.
Prior to the transfer, the current registrar of the domain must unlock it for transfer and request an EPP authorization code which enables the transfer. After you’ve received the EPP code, you can place a domain transfer order with MyDataKnox. After the payment is complete, you’ll receive an e-mail containing a link for transfer confirmation. As soon as you click on the link in the e-mail, the process of transferring the domain from your previous registrar to MyDataKnox will start. It usually takes up to 7 days for the transfer to be completed.
If you want to transfer your domain to MyDataKnox, you can start the process here

In case of “outgrowing” the maximum number of users on a server, your license will need to be upgraded to the next larger package. If the license isn’t upgraded, your access to WHM will be suspended until you upgrade the license or reduce the number of users on that server.

A multiple domain transfer is identical to the transfer of a single domain.
You can initiate the transfer of your domain to MyDataKnox here.

Standard web hosting packages are perfect for less-demanding users in need of hosting for their personal sites, blogs, simple business sites and other similar websites with a low number of visitors.
Advanced hosting packages are intended for more demanding users which require additional resources and steady functioning of advanced web applications, such as web shops, CRM systems and websites with a large number of visitors.
Regardless of the package you choose, all our web hosting packages include, among many other benefits, an unlimited number of domains, unlimited e-mail addresses, a completely free SSL certificate for each of the websites within a hosting package, a simple installation of WordPress and other popular platforms and content, as well as professional support 24/7 all year round.

Cloudlinux OS offers great stability-related features:

• LVE virtual environment
  LVE is a kernel-level technology developed by the CloudLinux team which operates in a way similar to container virtualization. The LVE Manager enables you to maintain precise control over your server’s resources, including CPU, IO, memory, inodes, the number of processes and connections that each individual cPanel account can use. Thanks to CloudLinux, you can ensure for your customers the resources they leased without depriving other users from their resources.
• MySQL Governor
  MySQL is often one of the main problematic areas for hosting companies. Keeping MySQL stable can be tricky, and users sending requests to the base can slow everything down. That’s where MySQL Governor comes in. Its ability to pinpoint problematic users and limit them in real time is unprecedented in the industry as of yet. Offering support for the latest versions of MySQL and MariaDB, CloudLinux is an imperative part of any shared hosting.
• CageFS
  CageFS is a virtualized file system which isolates every user and makes them invisible to each other within the system. CageFS prevents a great number of attacks, including most attacks performed through privilege escalation.
• PHP Selector
  Enable your users to select a specific PHP version that they require for their hosting account. PHP Selector provides premium flexibility by offering the users all the popular versions of PHP, which enables them to keep old scripts without the obligation to use newer PHP versions or change the code of their website. You are in charge of managing the PHP versions that are available to the users, as well as all available PHP extensions.
• Mod_lsapi
  Faster than any other way of serving PHP using an Apache server, while also being compatible with MPM Worker and not requiring configuration. It support PHP settings through .htacess and is completely compatible with PHP Selector.
• SecureLinks
  A kernel-level technology that prevents all known symlink attacks. This significantly increases the server’s security level and prevents hostile users from creating symbolic links between files.

In case you run out of repository space, you can easily request an increase of capacity through the MyDataKnox user website.

Yes. In order to use the Hosted Exchange service, you need to have your own domain and access to DNS scripts, since it’s necessary to perform certain modifications on DNS scripts.

There are a few factors that indicate that it’s time to get a VPS:

• YOU’RE CONCERNED WITH SECURITY
  If you require additional security options, such as improved webpage stability, autonomous firewall management, privacy for online payments or similar needs, it’s time to consider VPS hosting.
• THE NUMBER OF VISITORS OF YOUR WEBSITES IS RAPIDLY INCREASING
  When they’re still new, most websites require only the existing MyDataKnox web hosting packages. It often happens that the number of visitors of a website increases so much that the limited resources of a web hosting package become insufficient for interrupted site functioning. That’s definitely a time to transfer to VPS.
• WEBSITES ARE NOTICEABLY SLOW
  It should be pointed out that the web hosting service is not intended for web applications that require more resources, such as increased RAM. As the amount of content and the number of users on your websites increase, the performance is bound to diminish, despite the option of buying more memory capacity and an additional CPU core, since there are still limitations in place for every user in order to ensure the stability of the service for all users on the shared hosting. Transferring to VPS solves all the aforementioned issues, since you’re using dedicated resources, and in case you need extra resources, you can easily upgrade your VPS with a greater number of CPU cores, more disk space or more RAM. MyDataKnox VPS servers are located at our Tier3-category data centre and driven by hardware based on next-generation Intel Xeon processors.
• YOU HAVE A WEB SHOP
  If you run a web shop, especially if it’s visited by a large number of users, you should consider a VPS server. In case you’re wondering why, it’s simple – a VPS server provides you with a secure environment that you can manage yourself. Online payment in itself is something that requires privacy and full control over the service.
• YOU NEED TO INSTALL YOUR OWN APPLICATIONS
  Web hosting is a great choice for website owners, but what happens when you need a server where you can install business applications such as ERP, or specialised databases? To initiate those kind of applications, you need a server with its own OS. Many companies need to install a professional software on a server which their employees can access via a remote desktop, but they don’t find the price of a dedicated server cost-effective. In that case, a VPS server is a great solution, since it enables the installation of the necessary applications on the server, including full control over the server and its resources.
• YOUR BUDGET IS LIMITED
  Even though dedicated servers are ideal for businesses, the price is also an important factor. If you don’t require the full power of an entire server, a VPS server is the ideal choice, while also being considerably cheaper than a dedicated server.
• YOU DEVELOP YOUR OWN SOFTWARE
  The users of VPS services are often developers who require a private work environment which can be accessed from any part of the world. VPS server development enables simple and smooth work according to your own rules, especially with our cloud backup service which safeguards your data on a daily basis.

MySQL is often one of the main problematic areas for hosting companies. Keeping MySQL stable can be tricky, and users sending requests to the base can slow everything down. That’s where MySQL Governor comes in. Its ability to pinpoint problematic users and limit them in real time is unprecedented in the industry as of yet. Offering support to the latest versions of MySQL and MariaDB, CloudLinux is an imperative part of any shared hosting.

Our R1Soft backup solutions offers some crucial options:
BACKUP COPY
Whereas conventional backup solutions secure data by storing it on the same server or an external disk, MyDataKnox R1Soft backup keeps your data secure by storing it on enterprise equipment in our data centre.
QUICK DISASTER RECOVERY
Recover the complete server data without a second thought!
Unlike with conventional solutions, MyDataKnox backup eliminates the need for disk partition and installing an operating system before recovering the data from the backup copy. All your files, databases and applications will be restored to the server in perfect shape, like nothing ever happened.
HIGH-LEVEL PERFORMANCE
Sector-based backup increases bandwidth and reduces the server load. The servers can be completely operational and the effect on the performance during backup creation is minimal. Backup copies can be made at any time of day without interrupting the server processes, even on loaded servers.
FAST INCREMENTAL BACKUP
Incremental backup can distinguish which disk sectors have been modified since the last backup and will backup only modified and new data. A smaller amount of backup data makes for a significantly quicker backup process.
HIGH-LEVEL SECURITY
All data is stored and recovered under strong encryption.

An account, often referred to as “the cPanel user” or “cPanel account” is an account used by the end user for logging into the cPanel interface in order to manage their website or e-mail. It should be pointed out that the total number of users on a cPanel server, in terms of licenses, is determined by the number of active and suspended users on that server. Therefore, cPanel checks the number of users on a server and counts them, whether they are active or suspended.

Redirecting an existing domain to MyDataKnox servers is performed by changing nameserver scripts.
The changes are executed in the system of the registry where the domain is registered.
If you decide to redirect your domain registered elsewhere to your MyDataKnox hosting account, you need to change the nameservers of the domain to:
NS1.MYDATAKNOX.COM (185.15.29.210)
NS2.MYDATAKNOX.COM (185.15.29.211)

If you’re paying using a credit/debit card or PayPal, the service will be ready momentarily.
If you’re paying through online banking, i.e. via bank transaction, we’ll launch the server as soon as the amount appears on our account, or as soon as you send us a payment confirmation.
In order to accelerate the process of installation following a bank transaction payment, please send us the payment confirmation to our e-mail address info@mydataknox.com

Simply put, a domain is the address of your websites.
Web hosting is a service of placing website on servers that are globally accessible online and which serves your websites to their visitors.

It’s possible that, during the propagation period (up to 24 hours), the old server content is still displayed to some of your website’s visitors. This is mostly due to the DNS cache of the visitor’s Internet provider, but sometimes the reason is that the pages that are stored in the Internet browser cache are those that are displayed, so your browser cache needs to be cleared.

The unused time included in the service is not transferred into the following month.

Should the included time be exceeded, each additional activity which is not part of the regular, i.e. ordinary MyDataKnox support will be charged for at a price of HRK 200 per hour, or the equivalent amount in a foreign currency. This price doesn’t include VAT and the billing unit is 30 minutes.

If you’re streaming MP3, 128 kbps is more than enough bitrate. If you’re streaming AAC, 64 kbps will be enough for high-quality radio streaming.

Starting in 2025, a condition for successful registration of .hr and .com.hr domains is verification of the domain owner’s data, which means that the user is required to provide evidence that the owner’s data entered when ordering the domain is correct.
You can read details about the verification process below.

Why do I have to prove that my information is correct?

According to the Cybersecurity Act , published on February 7, 2024, the Registry and registrars of .hr domains are obliged to determine the exact identity of domain users during registration based on secure and credible systems and data sources, i.e. to verify users.

How is verification done?

The verification process in MyDataKnox is performed after payment of the offer upon completion of the domain order.

After paying for the offer, the MyDataKnox system starts a verification process consisting of three steps:

1. You will receive an email to your email address with a link to verify your ordered .hr and .com.hr domains.
2. When opening the link, you are allowed to select the document you want to attach as proof of identity.
3. After you attach the document, a PDF statement will be generated with an overview of your information as the domain owner and the document attached in the previous step.
4. By clicking the confirm button, your verification is saved in the MyDataKnox system.
5. MyDataKnox support confirms or rejects the verification.
6. If the verification is confirmed, your domain is registered and the verification process is complete.
   In case of verification rejection, you will receive an email stating the reason for the rejection and a new link to repeat the verification process.

What documents can I use for verification?

The attached document must be one of the following:

PERSONS

• ID card (both sides)
• passport
• certificate of residence issued by the competent authority (digitally signed or stamped)
• driver’s license
• a statement by a natural person digitally signed with a verified digital signature (with the stated purpose and data: name, surname, personal identification number)

LEGAL ENTITIES

• ID card of the person authorized to represent the legal entity
• passport of the person authorized to represent the legal entity
• certificate of residence issued by a competent authority (digitally signed or stamped) of the person authorized to represent the legal entity
• driver’s license of the person authorized to represent the legal entity
• statement of the person authorized to represent the legal entity digitally signed with a verified digital signature (with the stated purpose and data: name, surname, OIB/VAT)
• document or statement with the signature and seal of the legal entity (for the stated purpose, it is necessary to provide information about the legal entity: name, OIB/VAT)

Frequently asked questions

1. What if I don’t verify my identity?
   In case of unsuccessful verification, MyDataKnox will refund the amount paid for the domain, and the domain will not be registered.
2. I clicked on the verification link, but I got the message “Your verification token has expired”
   If you see a token expiration message, it means that more than 72 hours have passed since the verification email was sent and you need to request a new verification.
   Simply click on the “Request New Verification” button and the process will start over
3. I attached a document, but I received the message “Invalid file format. Allowed formats are: …”
   If you see this message, it means that the attached document is in a format that we do not accept.
   Simply return to the verification form and attach the document in an allowed format.
   Allowed formats are listed in the document submission form, and certainly include JPEG and PNG formats.
4. What information do I need to confirm during the verification process?
   The information that is confirmed by your acceptance of the information on the generated PDF statement is: Name and surname, address, e-mail address, OIB (Croatian Tax Identification Number), and phone number.
   All of the above information is required for the successful registration of .hr and .com.hr domains.

No. MyDataKnox expressly prohibits booting game servers on virtual and dedicated servers.

VPS is, simply put, an acronym that stands for Virtual Private Server. In short, VPS utilizes virtualization technology which enables “fragmentation” of a single powerful server into several virtual ones. Each of those virtual servers acts as a complete physical server and that’s what makes VPS such an important service. The word “private” indicates that those resources are reserved for you, therefore, you’re not sharing memory, CPU power or data with other users.

MyDataKnox provides you a complementary DNS hosting service with every VPS. You can access all DNS settings at your MyDataKnox user website.

No. If you’re playing commercial music on your radio station, you need to obtain the authors’ consent. You can request more information from your local copyright collection society.

Many essential tools are included in the WHM services, which, among other things, enable you to:

• easily manage websites and reset passwords
• quickly create new cPanel accounts or suspend or delete existing ones
• brand your control panel, which creates a professional appearance of the cPanel account of each user
• create a reseller user that has an access to the majority of WHM, which enables you to sub-lease services
• easily manage users and their packages
• have direct access to DNS zone management
• enable easy connection to management applications, such as WHMCS, for users and hosting services
• automate security backups of all hosted websites
• easily manage databases and web servers
• transfer the entire hosting account from another server to your own.
