Hi, it's owned by LiquidWeb and you can see a demo here.
https://www.interworx.com/
$20 is just too much for their license...
It is essentially dead product. Public version lacks massive amount of must-have functions (email rate limiter, PHP switch etc.). Liquid bought this panel to free them-selfs from cPanel. Their shared hosting has Interworx and it is like day and night from what they offering officially.
Go with directadmin, plesk.
We use Interworx and it has all of those features you mentioned and has frequent updates.
Really? So the price is completely justified and they are competetive against cpanel, plesk or directadmin?
It's been a long time but I can't imagine it's changed as much as cPanel has over the years. Back when I last tried it I found it refreshingly different, but ultimately not a positive experience. Aside from just being unique in design style, I didn't find that it offered me anything worth having that I couldn't get elsewhere, in software that customers were already more likely to know how to use.
I haven’t seen many use it, currently using DirectAdmin, but tempted to go back to CPanel since Microsoft are increasing prices twice yearly now. May as well jump on the band wagon.
I've also used InterWorx before and it didn't met my requirements, so I left it.
DirectAdmin is also good but the demand is super low
cPanel is the best choice for now but the license kept increasing along with the add-ons
We have a Interworx installation that's been running for about a year or so. Swapped to it from CPanel after one of their numerous price increases. We only have a few customers we do basic web hosting for, but Interworx is pretty solid.
Sure, CPanel has more customizable options, a better layout, more extensibility, and BIND instead of tinydns (which is what Interworx uses for the DNS server), but Interworx is half the cost.
An Interworx VPS license (<=4 vCores) is like $7/month, and you can have "unlimited" accounts/sites on it. CPanel "VPS" license is $15/mo, and you only get one user/account. And the Interworx baremetal/dedicated server license is $20/mo, which is far cheaper than the equivalent CPanel option. (>=$59/mo)
Also, our Interworx upgraded itself to the latest release literally yesterday, so calling it dead is pretty weird.
If you are going to sell Web Hosting, InterWorx don't have any market, it's hard to sell a Web Hosting using an unknown control panel to other people (non LET/techy)
I don't think there's a single end-user who cares what panel you use, as long as that panel offers the features they need, and isn't impossibly hard for them to use.
If your main selling point for web hosting is, "we have cpanel," I have a feeling you're not going to last very long to begin with.
Interworx offers all the key features 99% of end-users need. Here's what the end-user panel (Siteworx) looks like as of ~2 minutes ago.
It's virtually identical to cpanel feature wise for the end user.
I've tried doing business using DirectAdmin and things didn't go well...
But with cPanel, same price, same specs, just different panel... everything goes well but the maintenance cost is so hard to maintain if you're just a small web hosting provider
What do you mean by didn't go well? Did end-users have issues? Or did they reach out to you and say they wouldn't use your service because you didn't have CPanel?
They kept asking for cPanel instead of DirectAdmin, live chat is flooded with "Do you guys offer cPanel?"
I'm offering this kind of plan:
F.Y.I this is a generous offer and only $1.99 and they just... meh because of the Control Panel
Yup, they are getting a ton of updates it seems.

So here is my problem with InterWorx. I had it running on a VM, and I was shocked. I love the look and feel of the panel, but it lacks features that they are just now getting to, which makes me nervous.
I have seen panels offer more than InterWorx at half the price. Come on, it's 2023, and they are just now releasing the "Default PHP version selector."
InterWorx is an old company and should already have these features and many more. It has to improve for me to consider them for production use.
But it doesn't look like you have a Provider or a Host Rep tag. Why are you offering services for sale?
Perhaps it's more your attempts to blackmail other forum members that's putting people off buying your services.
Do I need Provider / Host Rep tag in LET to provided services in other forum? just asking
It looks to me that @JamesRoi is saying he currently offers that kind of plan outside of this forum and is finding difficulty selling to people who are asking for CPanel.
I don't think his comments refer to people on here or trying to sell services to them.
Agree with this^ there are other places to sell on the internet other than LET.
Yeah, sorry my bad. It just looked a bit too much like an offer, giving specs and price, but I guess in context after reading again it was more of a comment that people didn't find it attractive.
EDIT: also, I was coming from his other thread, so I wasn't giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Of all the things they copy from cpanel, they copy Jupiter.
