My port? Not on 22 if that's what you're asking.
Also, there is no root access for ssh. I'll be honest, once upon a time I did do it all wrong, and have learned over the years, but it HAS taken me years to really learn and understand what I'm doing.
Personally I still consider myself a novice, and probably just over paranoid. 3 years ago, I had many down time issues because I was either too cheap, or didn't know what I was doing. As I said... Learned the hard way.
