What is InterWorx?

InterWorx is a web hosting control panel built specifically for shared hosting providers running multi-tenant servers. Its defining characteristic is a clean dual-panel architecture: NodeWorx for server administrators and SiteWorx for end-user website owners — each offering exactly the right level of control for its audience without exposing server-level settings to end users.

NodeWorx handles all server-level management: services, DNS clusters, email configuration, system monitoring, and account provisioning. SiteWorx gives website owners a clean, focused interface for managing their own domains, email accounts, databases, FTP users, and SSL certificates — without the complexity of a full server admin panel.

On a Host4Fun Cloud VPS, InterWorx runs on fully isolated KVM hardware with dedicated AMD Ryzen cores, DDR5 RAM, and NVMe SSD — a solid foundation for shared hosting businesses looking for a cPanel alternative at a lower license cost.

InterWorx on Cloud VPS — How It Works

InterWorx installs on your Cloud VPS via the official installer script. It sets up the complete hosting stack — LiteSpeed or Apache, Exim mail, Dovecot IMAP, Bind DNS, MySQL, and both the NodeWorx admin panel and SiteWorx end-user panel — in a single automated process.

Host4Fun delivers the Cloud VPS with full root access. Obtain your InterWorx trial or license key, SSH in, run the installer, and access NodeWorx at port 2443 within 20–30 minutes. Create SiteWorx accounts for each hosted domain from the NodeWorx interface.

Everything InterWorx Gives You

From the unique dual NodeWorx/SiteWorx panel architecture to DNS clustering, a full REST API, and LiteSpeed web server support — InterWorx is purpose-built for shared hosting businesses.

Dual-Panel Architecture: NodeWorx & SiteWorx

InterWorx’s signature feature is its clean separation of admin and user interfaces. NodeWorx gives server administrators full control over services, DNS, accounts, and system configuration. SiteWorx gives website owners a focused, distraction-free panel for their own hosting account — no shared UI complexity.

DNS Clustering

InterWorx supports native DNS clustering across multiple servers. Configure primary and secondary nameservers that automatically synchronise zone files — essential for hosting businesses that need redundant DNS infrastructure for high availability and reduced DNS propagation risk.

Full REST API & CLI

InterWorx exposes every panel action through a comprehensive REST API and command-line interface. Automate account creation, DNS management, email provisioning, and server configuration — perfect for integrating with billing systems like WHMCS or custom provisioning workflows.

AutoSSL / Let’s Encrypt

Automatic SSL certificate provisioning and renewal via Let’s Encrypt for all hosted domains. SiteWorx users can enable SSL for their domains with a single click — no NodeWorx admin involvement required. Force HTTPS and configure HSTS from the per-domain SSL settings.

Full Email Stack

Exim MTA with Dovecot IMAP/POP3, SpamAssassin spam filtering, ClamAV antivirus, and Roundcube webmail included. SiteWorx users manage their own email accounts, forwarders, aliases, and autoresponders within their account quota — fully isolated from other hosting accounts.

LiteSpeed Web Server Support

InterWorx supports LiteSpeed Web Server as an alternative to Apache — delivering significantly faster PHP execution and static file serving on the same hardware. LiteSpeed’s drop-in Apache compatibility means existing .htaccess rules continue working without modification.

Reseller & Multi-Tenant Hosting

InterWorx is purpose-built for multi-tenant shared hosting. NodeWorx admins can create SiteWorx accounts with configurable resource packages — disk quotas, bandwidth limits, email account limits, and database counts — making it straightforward to run a shared hosting service from a single VPS.

Automated Backups

Schedule automated backups of all accounts, email, databases, and configuration files from NodeWorx. Configure backup destinations (local storage, FTP, remote) and retention policies. Individual SiteWorx accounts can also generate their own on-demand account backups.

WHMCS & Billing Integration

InterWorx provides a native WHMCS module for automated hosting account provisioning, suspension, and termination. The full REST API supports integration with any billing or provisioning system — making it a practical choice for hosting businesses that need automated client account management.

InterWorx offers a 30-day free trial and competitive monthly or lifetime licensing. A license key is required before the trial expires.

Why Choose Host4Fun for Your InterWorx Cloud VPS?

We provide the infrastructure. You get a powerful InterWorx shared hosting server backed by AMD Ryzen, NVMe SSD, and 10 Gbps networking — ready for NodeWorx and SiteWorx in minutes.

True KVM Virtualisation

InterWorx requires a fully isolated kernel environment for its web server, mail, DNS, and system-level service management. Our KVM-based Cloud VPS delivers dedicated resources and proper isolation — no OpenVZ limitations affecting InterWorx’s services or kernel-level operations.

AMD Ryzen Processors

Every Host4Fun Cloud VPS runs AMD Ryzen CPUs with dedicated vCPU cores. InterWorx’s multi-account PHP execution, Exim mail processing, MySQL database queries, and DNS resolution all benefit from fast, dedicated CPU performance without noisy-neighbour resource contention.

NVMe SSD Storage

Shared hosting servers are heavily I/O bound — serving hundreds of PHP requests, handling simultaneous email delivery, and running MySQL queries for multiple accounts at once. NVMe SSD delivers up to 10x faster I/O than SATA, directly improving response times for all hosted accounts.

DDoS Protection Included

Enterprise-grade DDoS mitigation is included on every Cloud VPS at no extra cost. Your InterWorx server and all hosted client sites stay accessible during volumetric attacks — critical when your server hosts multiple clients with SLA obligations.

Instant Deployment

Your Cloud VPS is provisioned automatically within minutes of payment. Select AlmaLinux 8, SSH in immediately, run the InterWorx installer, and have NodeWorx and SiteWorx operational in 20–30 minutes — ready to create your first hosted accounts.

24/7 Technical Support

Our support team is available 24/7 for Cloud VPS infrastructure issues including networking, OS reinstalls, and connectivity. InterWorx application-level support is available via InterWorx’s official support portal and knowledge base.

cPanel Migration Target

Hosting businesses moving away from cPanel’s escalating license costs find InterWorx a natural migration target. The dual-panel architecture mirrors the familiar WHM/cPanel admin/user separation — making the transition intuitive for both server admins and existing hosting clients.

LiteSpeed Shared Hosting

Combine InterWorx’s multi-tenant management with LiteSpeed Web Server’s PHP acceleration for a high-performance shared hosting server. LiteSpeed’s event-driven architecture handles far more concurrent connections than Apache on the same hardware — ideal for high-density hosting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about running InterWorx on a Host4Fun Cloud VPS.

NodeWorx is the server-level admin panel where you manage the entire InterWorx server — hosting accounts, DNS, services, backups, and system configuration. SiteWorx is the end-user panel that each hosted website owner uses to manage their own domain, email, databases, FTP accounts, and SSL certificates. Both panels are accessed via port 2443.
InterWorx is available as a monthly subscription (~$25/mo per server) or as a one-time lifetime license. A 30-day free trial with full functionality is available — no credit card required. Purchase at interworx.com. Host4Fun does not resell InterWorx licenses.
AlmaLinux 8 is the recommended OS for new InterWorx installations. It is a stable, long-term supported RHEL-compatible distribution. Rocky Linux 8 is also supported. Avoid CentOS 7 for new deployments as it has reached end-of-life. Ubuntu and Debian are not supported by InterWorx.
Yes. InterWorx includes a native WHMCS module that enables fully automated account provisioning, suspension, unsuspension, and termination triggered by billing events. New hosting customers can have their SiteWorx account activated within seconds of payment — without any manual admin action.
Yes. InterWorx supports native DNS clustering for synchronising zone files across multiple nameservers. This allows hosting businesses to run redundant DNS infrastructure with automatic zone replication — without manually managing BIND configuration on each nameserver.
Yes. InterWorx supports LiteSpeed Web Server as a drop-in replacement for Apache. LiteSpeed delivers significantly faster PHP execution and handles more concurrent connections on the same hardware, making it ideal for high-density shared hosting. Existing Apache .htaccess rules continue to work without modification.
Yes — particularly for hosting businesses. Like cPanel/WHM, InterWorx separates server admin (NodeWorx) from end-user (SiteWorx) interfaces. It supports reseller hosting, WHMCS integration, DNS clustering, and automated provisioning via API. Monthly licensing at ~$25/mo is competitive with cPanel’s $45+/mo for equivalent functionality.
Both NodeWorx and SiteWorx are accessed via port 2443 over HTTPS — NodeWorx at /nodeworx/ and SiteWorx at /siteworx/. Make sure port 2443 is open in your server firewall after installation. Web ports 80 and 443 must also be open for hosted websites to be accessible.
