When you purchase a VPS from ActiveServers, whether it is a Linux VPS or Windows VPS, a predefined set of network ports is allowed to ensure that commonly used hosting, email, database, remote-access, and application services can function properly.
These ports are available by default on ActiveServers VPS servers. If your application requires a port that is not included in the list, you can simply raise a support ticket with our team to request an additional port.
