NodeWorx Guide

NodeWorx is the server administrator interface for InterWorx, giving you full control over your server’s health and configuration. Unlike SiteWorx, which focuses on individual websites, NodeWorx is where you manage the system itself.

This guide serves as your central hub for mastering server administration. We have organized our resources into dedicated sections to help you find exactly what you need. You can dive deep into NodeWorx Security to harden your firewall, explore NodeWorx Backup and Restore to safeguard your data, or master Email Management for reliable delivery. We also provide comprehensive guides for Database Management and PHP Management to keep your server optimized.
