Why is the SSH port of a dedicated VPS not 22?

Some dedicated VPS products use a random SSH port instead of the default 22 port.

Check the actual SSH port in the product details page or activation email, then use:

ssh username@server-ip -p ssh-port

If you connect directly to port 22, you may see a timeout, connection refused, or login failure.

LXC products​

Some LXC products may use the default 22 port. Always use the information shown on the product details page as the source of truth.
