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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Of course.
MyDataKnox doesn’t implement that kind of limitation; you can buy the certificate and install it on a server that is not one of ours.

All MyDataKnox dedicated servers include full administrator privileges, at least one public IP address, a console and a 1 Gbps network port.

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.

The EPP key, also known as Authorization code, is one of the safeguards against unauthorized transfers of domain name registrations. The EPP key is required when transferring .com, .org, .net and various other domain names. You cannot initiate a domain name transfer for these domain extensions without an EPP code.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

MyDataKnox premium support is a service consisting of expanded technical support for virtual and dedicated servers and encompasses additional activities in relation to standard support.

You need an SSL certificate in the following cases:

• you have a web shop
• you accept credit/debit card payments (or other forms of payment)
• you provide an online service for which your subscribers pass a sign-up process
• your website requires the entry of user log-in information
• you transfer private data online
• you want to inspire confidence with your visitors and users

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.

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.

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.

All active cPanel license users can upgrade or downgrade their license through MyDataKnox user website at any time.

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 examples of activities beyond the scope of normal support include: web application issues, installation and/or script configuration, etc.

We’ll provide you with a free trial period of 48 hours. All you need to do is contact us and request a trial period or mention that you want to try out the service when you’re finishing your order.

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

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

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

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

All our reseller packages are based on Linux servers and include WHM/cPanel control panels.

The main prerequisite is being an existing user of the Veeam backup service, which means that you need to have a Veeam console which enables you to connect to the Cloud Connect Backup service.

All messages that go through the Hosted Exchange e-mail service are checked and cleared of spam (inbox and outbox) and malicious code using cutting-edge antivirus solutions. Nevertheless, we also recommend using your own antivirus computer software.

There are a few factors that indicate that it’s time to get a VPS:

• YOU’RE CONCERNED WITH SECURITY
  If you require additional security options, such as improved webpage stability, autonomous firewall management, privacy for online payments or similar needs, it’s time to consider VPS hosting.
• THE NUMBER OF VISITORS OF YOUR WEBSITES IS RAPIDLY INCREASING
  When they’re still new, most websites require only the existing MyDataKnox web hosting packages. It often happens that the number of visitors of a website increases so much that the limited resources of a web hosting package become insufficient for interrupted site functioning. That’s definitely a time to transfer to VPS.
• WEBSITES ARE NOTICEABLY SLOW
  It should be pointed out that the web hosting service is not intended for web applications that require more resources, such as increased RAM. As the amount of content and the number of users on your websites increase, the performance is bound to diminish, despite the option of buying more memory capacity and an additional CPU core, since there are still limitations in place for every user in order to ensure the stability of the service for all users on the shared hosting. Transferring to VPS solves all the aforementioned issues, since you’re using dedicated resources, and in case you need extra resources, you can easily upgrade your VPS with a greater number of CPU cores, more disk space or more RAM. MyDataKnox VPS servers are located at our Tier3-category data centre and driven by hardware based on next-generation Intel Xeon processors.
• YOU HAVE A WEB SHOP
  If you run a web shop, especially if it’s visited by a large number of users, you should consider a VPS server. In case you’re wondering why, it’s simple – a VPS server provides you with a secure environment that you can manage yourself. Online payment in itself is something that requires privacy and full control over the service.
• YOU NEED TO INSTALL YOUR OWN APPLICATIONS
  Web hosting is a great choice for website owners, but what happens when you need a server where you can install business applications such as ERP, or specialised databases? To initiate those kind of applications, you need a server with its own OS. Many companies need to install a professional software on a server which their employees can access via a remote desktop, but they don’t find the price of a dedicated server cost-effective. In that case, a VPS server is a great solution, since it enables the installation of the necessary applications on the server, including full control over the server and its resources.
• YOUR BUDGET IS LIMITED
  Even though dedicated servers are ideal for businesses, the price is also an important factor. If you don’t require the full power of an entire server, a VPS server is the ideal choice, while also being considerably cheaper than a dedicated server.
• YOU DEVELOP YOUR OWN SOFTWARE
  The users of VPS services are often developers who require a private work environment which can be accessed from any part of the world. VPS server development enables simple and smooth work according to your own rules, especially with our cloud backup service which safeguards your data on a daily basis.

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.

CloudLinux resolves many issues that hosting companies and individuals face. Here are a few:

• The server is loaded and losing resources
  LVE virtualization offers you control over server resources, including the CPU, IO, memory, inodes, the number of processes and connections that each individual cPanel account can use.
• Server breaches and malicious scripts
  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
  SecureLinks prevents all known symlink attacks at the kernel level.

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.

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

All our servers can be leased on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual basis.

MyDataKnox doesn’t access your server data and therefore doesn’t create backup copies of the server. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.).

Of course. Upon ordering a VPS service, you select the number of additional IP addresses you require, and, in case you lease multiple addresses, you an easily set one main IP address for your VPS.

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.

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.

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