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.
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:
In order to perform a successful domain transfer, you have to meet the following requirements:
You have be the owner of the domain or have access to the e-mail address indicated in the server as the e-mail of the administrator
You need to unlock the domain for transfer with your current registrar and get an EPP code, which is required for most extensions (not for Croatian domains)
The transfer must be initiated no later than 10 days prior to the expiration of the domain, so that it doesn’t expire during transfer
The transfer must be performed at least 60 days after the domain has been registered or previously transferred.
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.
Some important features of JetBackup for cPanel are:
Incremental data backup After creating the first backup copy which encompasses the entire cPanel account, every subsequent copy will solely include the differences in relation to the previous version, which accelerates the process of creating backup copies and enables the user to review the stores changes in detail.
Storage of copies to multiple locations JetBackup enables several technical options for the purpose of creating backup copies, such as storing copies to a remote server using FTP ili SSH, storing them on Dropbox or Amazon S3.
Recovery of individual files from backup copies In case you don’t need to recover the entire cPanel account, the transparent interface of JetBackup enables you to recover individual files, e-mail messages, databases, DNS scripts and a lot more with just a few clicks.
Full CloudLinux support With the full support of JetBackup for CloudLinux, you can place the process of creating backup copies within the LVE, which makes the backup copy be created within individually assigned resources for each cPanel user. If you don’t have CloudLinux, you can still optimise the process of creating backup copies by using resync IO limitations and assign priority to services.
In simple terms, we could describe a nameserver as a domain address book. Just like you would use an address book to look up information related to a particular person or company by name, the same goes for domains, since they also have an “address”. When you type our address mydataknox.com in your Internet browser, your computer uses DNS to retrieve the data about the nameserver containing the IP addresses linked to our domain. Afterwards, your computer requests the IP address of our web server, which, finally, sends the web page to your browser.
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.
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.
There are three types of SSL certificates, differing in the level of protection they provide and the way they are displayed in the browser.
DV (domain validation) – SSL certificate that protects the domain and its owner. It’s displayed in the form of a padlock + https://name.domain
OV (organization validation) – SSL certificate that verifies and protects company data. It’s displayed in the form of a padlock + https://name.domain
EV (extended validation) – SSL certificate that provides maximum protection. It’s displayed in the browser as a long green bar containing the company name.
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.
The MyDataKnox L-series dedicated servers are usually ready as soon as you make the payment upon receiving an offer, whereas the XL-series is installed on an individual basis by our technical staff and takes up to 48 hours from the date of payment.
In order to help you find your way around the names of the services and the differences between them, we’ve prepared a comprehensive description below. WEB HOSTING Web hosting, sometimes known as shared hosting, is the most common form of hosting on the market and meets the requirements of most users regarding website hosting. By leasing a web hosting account, you’ll get access to your own separate account on a server which hosts many other users as well, and all of you share its complete resources. Hosting websites using shared web hosting has a few crucial advantages in comparison to VPS or a dedicated server:
when you get an account, everything is ready for use
you can easily install web applications using the cPanel interface
you can easily open e-mail addresses
the server is prepared solely for a web hosting service and is especially optimised for premium performance
general simple management
affordably priced web hosting packages.
Web hosting also has a few drawbacks, such as:
no advanced system configuration (e.g. MySQL)
resource limitation (every account has a specific amount of resources – CPU/RAM)
more advanced users, such as web shops with a large number of visitors, soon outgrow the options provided by a shared environment.
DEDICATED SERVER Dedicated hosting, or a dedicated server, is the complete opposite of a web hosting service.
Instead of using server resources together with other users, in a dedicated server, you have total access to the system and you can configure and use the server any way you want. Sounds great, and it is, however, it costs considerably more than an annual subscription to a hosting account. This type of hosting is intended for specific users, those that require dedicated resources, such as:
users with complex web applications with a large number of visitors
companies that use the servers for business applications and databases
users that require specific settings or virtualization.
VPS SERVER
VPS servers are a type of service which falls somewhere between web hosting and dedicated servers. It’s a service which enables you to use dedicated resources (CPU, RAM, storage) and it’s intended for users that outgrow a web hosting environment, but still don’t require the power of an entire dedicated server. VPS offers you many of the same advantages as a dedicated server at only a fraction of the price of one. Therefore, VPS gives you full administrator access and you can configure the server any way you like, just like with a dedicated server.
In order to present the similarities and differences of the aforementioned MyDataKnox services in the form of a clear overview, we’ve prepared a small table of their basic features.

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.
MyDataKnox R1Soft backup is a service which enables you to periodically store data on a central server located at our high-quality data centre. R1Soft is constantly monitoring your disks, tracking changes and making backup copies solely of the changing elements. You manage the service and backup copies using a web interface which enables you to recover and download individual files from the backup copy, perform a full bare-metal data recovery and a lot more.
You can change the operating system of your VPS at any time through your MyDataKnox user website for server management. Bear in mind that you can install any operating system on a Windows VPS server, whereas there is no option of installing a Windows Server operating system on a Linux VPS server.
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.
Yes, you can expand your VPS disk space by leasing additional space. However, the installed operating system must be properly configured in order to include the extra disk space. You can contact our customer support if you need more information or assistance.
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.
VPS management requires basic server administrator knowledge. You’ll need it to administrate the operating system you’ll install (Linux or Windows) and configure the applications. If you require VPS, but feel that you lack the technical skills needed to manage a server, we recommend that you take a look at our Premium support service.
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:
first, a complete copy of your server is made
the R1Soft client is constantly monitoring all changes on the disks within your server
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 doesn’t offer support for specific issues related to applications such as programming, design and website development, unless otherwise agreed upon by the user and MyDataKnox. Even though the premium support service doesn’t include working with your applications, our technical staff will assist you with any issue as much as possible.
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.
There are no limitations regarding the lease of a .ru domain, however, if the registrant or administrator is an organisation or company located in Russia, they must enter their tax identification number (10 digits), the company registration number (9 digits) and the registrant’s name. Private persons must enter their date of birth, passport number, the passport-issuing entity and the date of its issue. You can enter all the above-mentioned information on our website upon ordering an .ru domain.
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:
theWHM 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.
The domain name precedes the extension and it’s the part of the domain that makes a website unique, and, by analogy, a company, an individual, a project, etc. A simple example would be “mydataknox” as our domain name. Domain extensions are related to countries, business operations, activities, etc. Am example of a country-related extension would be “.hr”, which signifies that the domain is related to Croatia. Some examples of business extensions are “.biz”, “.org” and “.com”. Apart from the previously mentioned extensions, there are many others that cover a wide variety of areas, from professions and services to hobbies. Some examples of such topical extensions are, among others, “.apartments”, “.fitness”, “.pizza”, and “.news”.
The price of cPanel licenses is set according to the number of users on a particular cPanel server. The licenses are available for VPS and dedicated servers that are now named Cloud and Metal, the difference being that for the dedicated server package, i.e. the Metal package, the minimum amount of users per package is 100, whereas the Cloud package for VPS servers offers two cheaper licenses: a Cloud Admin license which can host up to 5 users per cPanel server, and a Cloud Pro license which can host up to 30 users per cPanel server. Packages for up to 100 users are the same for VPS 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.
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.
Reseller web hosting enables you to set up your own web hosting business under your own name. When you apply for a reseller hosting account, you lease a certain amount of SSD disk space and monthly traffic which you can then distribute among your users. You can choose your own account limitations, as well as the price you’ll set for your clients.
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.
SSL certificates are usually selected on the basis of the type of website and your visitors. If credit/debit card numbers and other valuable information is entered anywhere on your website, we recommend the EV certificate, which provides maximum protection and security. The DV certificate is usually acceptable for any other requirements.
The MyDataKnox Veeam Cloud Connect Backup service ensures a backup repository on a remote location, within the MyDataKnox cloud, that you can access through your Veeam console.
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.
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)
Croatian domains are linked to natural and legal persons, therefore, Carnet requires you to enter your PIN or CRN upon registration of a .hr or .com.hr domain.
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.
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.
In simple terms, we could describe a DNS as a domain address book. Just like you would use an address book to look up information related to a particular person or company by name, the same goes for domains, since they also have an “address”. When you type our address mydataknox.com in your browser, your computer uses DNS to retrieve the data about the IP addresses linked to our domain. Afterwards, your computer requests the IP address of our web server, which, finally, sends the web page to your browser. To summarise, DNS connects symbolic domain names, such as the mydatakno.com domain, with the IP address of the server where the domain-related content is located.
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 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.)
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.
All your data is stored in the MyDataKnox cloud within our own data centre in Jastrebarsko, Croatia. This ensures a faster response and a support service that can react quickly.
All reseller web hosting accounts include two separate control panels:
a Reseller Web Host Manager (WHM) which enables you to create accounts for your users and manage them
a cPanel control panel for your users which enables them to easily create and/or manage websites and e-mail.
WHM makes it very simple to manage and create various subaccounts. You will be able to:
set up cPanel for each user
limit user SSD storage and/or bandwidth
change user passwords, and perform many other actions.
Your users will be responsible for setting up their websites and e-mail, as well as managing their accounts, which they can perform using the cPanel control panel. cPanel will enable them to create and manage their websites and e-mail accounts without your intervention.
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.
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.
