Changing SSH Port on your VPS/DEDI
Changing The default port 22 to other port is considered as a security measure.
I am sure that 90 % of members here use the default port
STEP1 : Login to your V.P.S / Dedi by using a SSH client like Putty.
STEP2: Editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Using your favourite editor,edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PHP Code:nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Restarting SSHD
For CentOS
PHP Code:/etc/init.d/sshd restart
PHP Code:/etc/init.d/ssh restart
*Make sure to remember the new ssh port.
*Just changing the port 22 to something else wont make your box secure, it gives more work to the hacker to guess/find the ssh port.

Make shure you allow that Port in your firewall first.

1 more little tip for everyone:
If you have a few servers, Decide on one port number, or it gets real confussing.
