If you want any of the ports that are open by default to be closed or access to them to be restricted to certain IP addresses, you must have a Managed Server.
We do not have the possibility to close any ports for certain clients on shared servers (web hosting account servers and Agency Standard servers).
If you have a server set up in Oderland Cloud, you control which ports are open or closed via the firewall.
For a server to work and for services on it to be used, a number of so-called network ports must be open on it. These can be ports for e-mail management (incoming and outgoing mail), FTP for file transfers and SSH for more advanced functions. For servers running cPanel, a number of ports specific to that platform must also be available for the control panel to be accessible and usable.
Below we list a selection of the ports that are open for traffic on our servers. Please note that there may be more ports open and these are required for the systems to function.
