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.

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.

Yes. When you lease or transfer a domain to MyDataKnox, our system automatically assigns you a DNS hosting service.

WHM enables you quick, easy and automated management of your sever and to very easily create web hosting packages, and it provides your users access to a powerful cPanel control panel for the purpose of managing individual accounts within WHM. The cPanel server itself is divided into two parts:

• the WHM server control panel (root access to WHM)
  The server administrator has access and complete control over all WHM functions. They can access all WHM interface levels, including WHM resellers and the cPanel end user interface. There is only one administrator user on the server.
• cPanel control panel for the hosting end user
  cPanel is a control panel used for direct management of individual hosting accounts.
  The options available to the user depend on administrator settings, or reseller settings if the end user is their client.

A web hosting e-mail is linked to your web hosting package and enables you standard e-mail management options (POP3/IMAP). Microsoft Hosted Exchange includes full e-mail control with additional benefits, such as integration with Microsoft Outlook and push service for mobile phones in order to ensure that your data is synchronized and updated for all employees.

The MyDataKnox hosting service is used by means of our user-friendly and transparent user interface. Script editing is quick and simple, and daily backup copies eliminate the threat of any errors that might cause operation shutdown of leased servers linked to the DNS scripts.

To use the MyDataKnox DNS hosting service, the domain must be pointed to our user nameservers:

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

Veeam can perform the backup of virtual servers using VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization platforms.

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.

In order to activate the R1Soft backup service, all you need to do is to install the R1Soft client software on the server you want to backup. Afterwards, the R1Soft makes copies in the following way:

1. first, a complete copy of your server is made
2. the R1Soft client is constantly monitoring all changes on the disks within your server
3. each subsequent time a backup copy is saved, a snapshot is made and only the changed data is sent to the cloud (incremental backup).

MyDataKnox radio hosting is compatible with all major players and devices.

MyDataKnox DNS hosting service enables you to modify the following scripts:

• A
• AAA
• CAA
• CNAME
• MX
• NS
• SPF
• SOA
• SRV
• TXT

SSL certificates are used for protecting the data between the visitor and the server where the website is located. This means that SSL certificates enable safe online credit/debit card payments, protect the domain and company location information.

Sure, You can use R1Soft backup with virtual and dedicated servers.

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.

MyDataKnox DNS hosting enables full control over all domains entered into the system. All DNS scripts are updated the moment you enter or modify them.

The license for the Veeam Cloud Connect service is defined according to the number of virtual servers you want to backup and the size of the leased MyDataKnox backup repository.

WHM is designed as a solution for simple management of a large number of websites and helps you manage resources and create user (hosting) accounts. Some fundamental benefits of WHM are:

• it’s very easy to create hosting packages for your own projects, as well as offer a web hosting service to others
• enables you to manage hosted websites and separate them into individual cPanel accounts, which is really useful if you wish to keep business sites separate from private ones, or simply want to separate the access to control panels of each hosted website
• automated management of security settings helps you increase the security of all websites, since WHM enables you to manage a firewall, as well as many antivirus and antispam solutions, through integrated mechanisms and simple extensions
• regular upgrades prevent various types of malfunctions that might jeopardise your server
• a free SSL certificate is automatically assigned to each hosting account, which ensures additional security for each hosted website.

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

MyDataKnox provides support with server configuration and maintenance; however, the applications you install on the server are not included in our support area.

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.

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

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR REGISTRATION OF A .COM.HR DOMAIN
.com.hr are paid domains, available for registration to all legal and natural persons in the Republic of Croatia. The number of .com.hr domains that you can register is unlimited, and you can perform the registration here

NAME REQUIREMENTS FOR .COM.HR DOMAINS
There are no requirements in terms of domain names (apart from technical requirements regulated by Carnet’s Ordinance).
Considering the fact that there are no special requirements in terms of a domain name, the users must adhere to the Ordinance insofar as to refrain from registering domains that would violate intellectual property rights (trademarks and brand names).
Those types of domains must not be sold nor provided to third parties.
Should it become established that a domain is being exclusively or mostly used by a person not registered as its user, the domain will be deleted.

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.

Reseller hosting is intended for individuals and companies with multiple websites for which they require separate cPanel accounts, or those that wish to offer their users a web hosting service at their own prices and conditions, without having to maintain the server and the service itself, since we’ll be responsible for that part of the job.

You can, by using third-party tools, such as Code Two or IMAP Sync, i.e. manually migrating your user mailbox. You can always contact our support team if you need assistance.

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 is actually a change of registry. It’s important to note that the transfer pertains only to the domain, not the hosting content. In other words, your domain can be registered with one provider, and the hosting (content) with another.

Before your domain expires, if it’s active, you’ll receive an automatic offer to renew it 30 days before it expires. You’ll also receive several reminders for domain renewal payment.

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.

Of course! You can quickly and easily upgrade your reseller hosting package at any time. All you have to do is send an inquiry to our support team indicating the package you want. Afterwards, our support team will create an offer for the payment of the price difference between the existing and the new package. Your package will become active upon its payment.

There are no limitations, but using the Exchange service as a newsletter system is not allowed.

Yes. Outlook Web Access (OWA) enables you to access all service options using a web browser.

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, 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. LVE enables many crucial settings:

• CPU limitation
  Limits CPU usage for each individual user. When a user reaches the set CPU limits, their processes are decelerated in order to prevent the misuse of server resources. Processor limitations are crucial in preventing individual users from slowing down or even blocking the entire server and making it unresponsive.
• Memory limitation
  Limits memory usage per user. Memory limitations are important in preventing the overuse of server memory which can lead to server congestion. Memory limitations are also fundamental in protecting the server from destroying important caches that can help increase the speed and reduce the load of the server.
• I/O limits
  Offers the limitation of data throughput per user. The bandwidth is measured in kB/s, and, upon reaching the limit, the processes are reduced. Since IO is one of the weakest shared hosting resources, setting a ceiling for user usage is vital because it enables stable work for all users, instead of several users with extremely complex sites congesting the disks.
• Process number limitation
  Limits the number of simultaneous processes within the LVE for each user. After the limit has been reached, no new processes can be created until one of the existing processes is complete. This effectively prevents fork bombs and similar DOS attacks.
• Entry process limitation
  Limits the number of entry processes within the LVE for each user. A single entry process actually represents a single website visitor. This limitation is important in order to prevent a single website from taking up all Apache resources and making the server unresponsive due to overload.
• MySQL limits
  MySQL Governor enables you to set a resource limitation per user. You can set a limitation for CPU and IO reading and writing, thus preventing individual users from taking up the majority of MySQL server resources. Nowadays, MySQL data launches most web applications and it’s important to monitor those applications.
• Inode limits
  Inode is a type of data structure that describes file system objects – files and directories. Only a limited number of inodes is in each file system, and, after those are used, no new files can be created. Limitations are enforced through file system quotas per user.

All are server are equipped with a 1 Gbps port

No. Every certificate is linked to a specific domain.
A partial exception are the Wildcard certificates, which cover a domain and all its subdomains.

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 deliver your websites to their visitors.

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)

In the world of business, having a domain has become just as common as having a telephone number. If there is no domain name displayed on your company’s advertising and business cards, the clients that prefer to browse products and services online, which is widely spread nowadays, might skip your content if they are unable to easily find that information. Nowadays, a registered domain and a high-quality website is a business priority, since it’s a very cheap way to present a company name and information to the general public in a way that is simple and quick.
Individuals also want to have their own domain for private or family websites and various activities, but often just to be able to create a private e-mail address on their own domain. If you’re an author, artist, activist, volunteer, or if you perform another kind of activity under your name, registering a domain that carries your full name will create a unique address that you can use for promotion.
A good domain name and a related e-mail address inspire confidence in users, so it’s quite obvious that an imaginary company “My Company Ltd.” would use a domain such as mycompany.com for their websites and an e-mail such as info@mycompany.com for communicating with their clients.
