The control panel market offers many solutions for customers with varying needs. Whether you’re a small business owner or a CEO of a large corporation, you’re sure to find a web hosting control panel that will suit your needs. Many people have trouble finding out which control panel would be most suitable for their needs, however there are some control panels that can accommodate both large and small online businesses. One such control panel is the Interworx control panel.

InterWorx control panel is known as a cluster control panel, in other words it is capable of administrating several servers at once, although it can also be used to manage a single server as well.  InterWorx is also optimal for a dedicated server environment, and its multi-leveled user interface is simple to learn, yet very powerful. The software was originally designed to accommodate the administration needs of users with multiple servers, however over time the developers included simpler features for novice users. Both resellers and end-users can benefit equally from this software, as the server space allotted is not restricted on either end.  There are two main interfaces within the InterWorx software: the  SiteWorx (domain/reseller administration module),  and NodeWorx (server administration module)
