I am looking for hosting expert to change ssh port and firewall.
It is dedicated server with Plesk 9.5.1 control panel.

Waiting for PM with price.

Changing the SSH port is as easy as editing the ssh configuration file and restarting the SSH service - you should be able to Google that and save yourself some money :)

Just ssh to server and edit the file

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Change the value of the "port" parameter and then restart sshd.

Make sure that you open the port in firewall. Have sent you a P.M

Sylvester contacted me via Skype and I gave him instructions - CSF+LFD is pretty easy to reconfigure for a new port :)
