All are server are equipped with a 1 Gbps port

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.

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.

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.

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.

Domain propagation is the time it takes for the changes you execute on the DNS to become visible on the Internet. The propagation itself takes from a few minutes up to 24 hours, depending on the DNS cache of your Internet provider.

In order to check the number of users on your cPanel server, all you need to do is log in to WHM on the server and click on “List accounts”. The page that will open will display all the users on that server and their total number.

* 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.

The work time of MyDataKnox support included in the Premium package is 3 hours per month, with 30 minutes as the billing unit.

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

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 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.

VPS 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.).

The premium support service includes:

• physical hardware management, monitoring and exchange
• ensured network availability
• free installation of the cPanel control panel or CentOS Web Panel (hereinafter “Panel”) during the initial server configuration
• optimisation of the operating system during the initial server configuration
• free initial security arrangements
• free transfer of initial accounts from a remote system with the same control panel upon the initial server configuration
• management of all aspects of the operating system, assistance and resolution of all issues related to the operating system and standard control panel components
• MyDataKnox support, with the best intentions and within our possibilities, regarding third-party applications that don’t affect the operability of the Panel or the operating system
• provision of support through a remote system is not supported

Visit our websites for a detailed overview of activities included in the MyDataKnox premium support.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why do I need web hosting?
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. A web hosting service provides access to such a server.

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.

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.

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

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.

Of course. All our servers include full administrator privileges.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The number of stored tracks regarding the AutoDJ function depends on the size of the tracks. The file storage space you have at your disposal is 2 GB.

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

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.

Hosted Exchange offers you advanced e-mail options for your business environment:

• Manage company activities
  You can create as many calendars you need to easily manage various types of activities.
• Create individual and group meetings
  You can create meetings and promptly send an invitation to the relevant people.

• Manage contacts and groups
  Add and manage your contacts in a single place. You can create groups for different teams in your company in order to facilitate group communication.
• Don’t forget the key persons
  Make business cards for key people, so that you never forget who they are and what team or company they are affiliated with.
• Create and manage tasks
  Hosted Exchange also contains a task management tool. Create tasks and manage your to-do list so that all team members can keep up with the deadlines.
• Save brief notes
  Your notes are of no use to you if you can’t access them. The exchange of e-mails enables you to save those kinds of creative ideas so that everybody can access them anywhere and at any time.

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

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

MyDataKnox doesn’t access your VPS data and therefore doesn’t create backup copies. In order to securely backup your content, you need to use one of our cloud backup service or your own solution. MyDataKnox is not responsible for any data that might be lost due to your lack of a backup copy.

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.
