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

Web hosting is a service of placing website on servers that are globally accessible online. In order for your website to display online, its scripts, images and other content must be located on a server which executes your site’s code and serves its content to its visitors.

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

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.

DNS hosting is included in the following services:

• VPS servers
• Dedicated servers
• Cloud hosting
• Registered and transferred domains

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

If you require multiple hosting accounts with separate cPanel access and want to be able to create cPanel hosting accounts by yourself, reseller hosting is the right choice.

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)

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.

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.

There are two types of .hr domains: free and paid domains.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FREE AND A PAID .HR DOMAIN
A free .hr domain can be registered by all legal entities (companies, associations and other legal persons) and self-employed natural persons (tradesmen, medical doctors, attorneys, artists, etc.) based in the Republic of Croatia.
The user has a right to one free domain which they can register through an online registration system at: https://www.dns.hr/portal/register
Paid .hr domains can be registered by all legal and natural persons based in the Republic of Croatia which hold an “OIB” (Croatian Personal Identification Number), as well as legal persons based in the EU which hold a VAT ID.
You can register a paid .hr domain here.

RULES FOR NAMING FREE .HR DOMAINS
The name of a domain pertaining to a legal person must contain its registered name, its shortened registered name, an acronym of its name or an abbreviation containing the syllables of a multi-word registered name.
The name of a domain pertaining to a self-employed natural person must contain their registered name, their shortened registered name, an acronym of their name, an abbreviation containing the syllables of a multi-word registered name or an indication of their activity, as well as their first name, last name or full name.
There are no particular limitations regarding names of paid domains.

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.

MyDataKnox dedicated servers are delivered without add-ons, but you can lease cPanel and other licenses from us. MyDataKnox support team will help you prepare the server and install cPanel or a free CentOS Web panel.

Yes. MyDataKnox doesn’t limit the bandwidth on servers.

A free .hr domain can be registered by all legal entities (companies associations, political parties and other Croatian-based organisations) and natural persons performing a registered business activity (tradesmen, medical doctors, attorneys, artists, etc.).
The process of registering a free .hr domain is very simple and performed through Carnet.
All you have to do is go to https://domene.hr/portal/register/info-free-hr, click “Register” and follow a few short steps.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. You can change your server configuration at any time. All you need to do is send a request to our support team regarding the necessary adjustments.

If you want to use our services, such as VPS hosting, you need a DNS server in order to connect your domain to the leased server. Considering that spending time and money on buying a DNS server or creating your own DNS solution is not cost-effective, MyDataKnox offers you a read-made solution completely free of charge, which takes care of the cost problem.

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.

PHP Selector enables 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. The administrator manages PHP versions available to the users, as well as all available PHP extensions, and each user selects a PHP version using the interface and activates/deactivates extensions as necessary.

You require a programme which supports audio streaming. Some examples of those programmes are BUTT and RadioDJ, and both are free of charge. If you only intend to use the AutoDJ function, you don’t require that kind of software.

Microsoft Outlook linked to POP3/IMAP enables every user to manage their personal information (messages, maps, contacts, notes, tasks, calendars, rules and notifications), but doesn’t allow sharing them with anyone nor synchronization with other user devices. MyDataKnox Hosted Exchange business e-mail enables you to share all that information within a group of users, which enables you to respond to requests more quickly, to find files and e-mail messages momentarily and to improve communication with your employees, clients and suppliers. It also enables every user to access their data using any kind of Internet connection, thus keeping your team connected no matter where they are.

The only limitation to our DNS hosting service is that each zone can hold up to 30 records.

From the perspective of the end user, the main difference between web hosting and a VPS/dedicated server is the fact that a web hosting service is designed and optimised solely for the purpose of serving websites within a leased hosting package and comes with certain limitations regarding options such as installing your own applications, whereas a VPS server, as well as a dedicated server, is configurable and can be used for a variety of things, such as installing your own business solutions (CRM and ERP systems, cash register systems, etc.).

MyDataKnox doesn’t pose any limitations regarding the type of software you use on your server, as long as the software in question complies with our Terms of Service.

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.

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

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.

You can check whether a domain name is available through our websites using this link.
There are a few universal rules regarding the selection of a domain name:

• Choose a clear, unique and easily memorable domain name
• The name should link you or your company with the domain itself in as few characters as possible
• The domain name should not contain hyphens, numbers or special characters, unless it is strictly necessary
• The name should be easy to pronounce
• Make sure that the domain name is not registered or trademarked (e.g. eBay, etc.)

A domain transfer costs as much as the renewal of that domain.
When a domain is being transferred, it is also automatically renewed for another year, starting from the date of expiration of its current lease period. You can find the pricing of domain transfers here.

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.

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.

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.

Zone propagation can last for up to 24 hours, depending on the DNS cache of your Internet provider.

In order for your domain to display content, the content (web pages, images, etc.) must be located on a server which executed your website’s code and serves its contents.
MyDataKnox web hosting service gives you access to that kind of server.

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.

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.

CloudLinux OS is the leading platform for multi-user hosting environments. Server stability and security is achieved by isolating each hosting user account and appointing host resources individually to each account. Using CloudLinux you create an environment that is more similar to a virtual host than a shared hosting account. Therefore, it’s important to implement and use the CloudLinux OS for every shared hosting, since it will prevent any user from affecting your server and its performance.

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

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.

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

You can receive and send e-mail messages of up to 50 MB in size.

Veeam Cloud Connect Backup is a service of performing off-site backup to the MyDataKnox cloud. Simply put, you lease backup space and add it to your Veeam console.

Incremental backup enables you to accelerate the process of creating backup copies, after an initial complete server backup has been performed, by sending only modified and new data to the backup repository. A smaller amount of backup data makes for a significantly quicker backup process.

A MyDataKnox hosting service provides simple DNS script management for your domain if you’re also a user of our services of VPS, dedicated servers, cloud or you’re leasing a domain with us. The service itself enables you to easily manage DNS scripts without having to arrange your own DNS server infrastructure. The service also comes with access to a control panel for adding and modifying scripts, free backup of all DNS zones and our useful customer support 24/7.
