Ports to open for web server (PLESK, cPanel, etc.)
All-
Our new data center provided us with a Cisco ASA5510 firewall. We're setting up all new servers and will begin migrating all of our domains from our current co-lo to the new place.
At the old co-lo, they provided us a very basic BSD based router, and our servers all had external public facing IPs on them. Firewalling was handled at the server (Windows Firewall or Linux IPtables).
The new place is NAT'ing us, so our servers all have a 192.168.10.x address inside, and they map the external address for us through to the inside.
By default, they are locking everything down. I had to ask them to open ssh so I could remote into my CentOS box last night.
I'm not a network guru-- what ports are going to NEED to be opened so I can give them a list? This is a standard PLESK hosting server so http (80), https, ssh, ftp, pop3, smtp, what else? Anyone have a list?
Thank you

I once meet a guy that maintains a few debian packages, one of which is firewall builder (http://www.fwbuilder.org). Its an open source GUI app that lets you mange firewalls on Linux, BSD or Cisco IOS. I am not sure about the AS5510, but I think they have Cisco IOS. They even have a 41 page walk through of how to build policy using the tool under the screen shots section. It might be worth a look for you. Good luck!

http:80
https:443
ssh:22 (if it your server better chane it to something not usual)
If you are using ftp you have to open port 21 also
if you have only a mail server you have to also open ports 25 &110 for it.
If you ruan mailservers at all your machines youd would have to open 25 and 110 for all your machines.
Also you yould have to open 8443 for plesk to work.
If plesk comes with virtuozzo you would also have to open 4643.
Hope i helpedNOT a webhost!helping here just for the fun of it!
