How long does a domain transfer last?
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
How can I sell hosting under my own brand?
Every reseller hosting package enables you to add your own branding elements (logo, contact information, your own nameserver domains). In fact, your users never even need to know that you’re a MyDataKnox user. You can contact our customer support for any help with branding you might need. We’ll be glad to help.
Do you have control over DNS in the Hosted Exchange service?
No. You still control your own DNS settings, and you only need to make some minor modifications in the DNS scripts regarding the service itself.
If I order a new VPS today, how much time will it take for it to be ready for use?
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

If you’re ordering or already have a hosting account with MyDataKnox and you already have a registered free .hr domain that you want to use, follow the steps described below:
- Visit the Carnet website for domain administration at https://www.dns.hr/portal/mydomain/administration
- Enter the name of the .hr domain that you wish to redirect to MyDataKnox.
- Choose your role related to the domain (owner, technician or administrator) and click “Send”. Afterwards, you’ll receive an e-mail providing you with authorized access to the domain administration website.
- Click on the link indicated in the e-mail and under “DNS scripts” enter the following MyDataKnox nameservers:

How can I transfer a domain to MyDataKnox?
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.

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.
What is DNS?
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.
What types of issues does CloudLinux resolve?
CloudLinux resolves many issues that hosting companies and individuals face. Here are a few:

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

I’m using Outlook with a POP3/IMAP account; how would I benefit from Hosted Exchange?

What is LVE and what is it used for?
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.
I’m currently using POP3/IMAP account or webmail, can I migrate my existing e-mail?

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.

Offering support to the latest versions of MySQL and MariaDB, CloudLinux is an imperative part of any shared hosting.
How is the Hosted Exchange service paid for?

The word “private” indicates that those resources are reserved for you, therefore, you’re not sharing memory, CPU power or data with other users.
