Port Access:
In a Shared Hosting environment, where everyone shares the same IP, some ports must be blocked. We block access to certain ports to help avoid having security holes in the firewall, and to allow us to monitor and control customers who attempt to abuse the different services that we allow to run through these ports. The majority of processes requiring specific Port Access typically are bound to the IP address which they are running on. On a shared IP only one service can run through a specific port from that IP. We have only opened the ports for processes which we are running on our servers (webmail, cPanel, etc.). Purchasing a dedicated IP will allow us to grant you access to the ports you will need to run your specific services on. This applies to both outbound and inbound connections running on non-standard ports.
These ports will not be automatically be opened, after purchasing a dedicated IP address.
You will need to contact us and request the ports that you would like to be open.
