Warning: Make sure the new SSH port does not conflict with any known or blocked ports.

Connect to your server via SSH.

Switch to the root user.

Run the following command:

vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Locate the following line:

# Port 22

Remove # and change 22 to your desired port number.

service ssh restart
