Common Hosting Ports on JetHost
Common hosting ports on JetHost let different services – like email, FTP, and websites – communicate with your hosting server. Knowing which ones are used most often helps you connect quickly and avoid configuration issues. These ports are essential for making sure your hosting account runs as expected, especially when working with external software or security settings.
When you access your website, upload files through FTP, or check your email, specific ports are used in the background. If a port is blocked or misconfigured, those services might not work properly. That’s why it’s a good idea to understand which ports are open on your hosting plan and how each one functions.
This guide outlines the most used ports in your hosting account and what they’re for. Whether you’re setting up a mail app, editing firewall rules, or troubleshooting a connection, these are the ports you’ll rely on. We’ve also included short descriptions so you know when and why a specific port matters. You don’t need to memorize everything, but being familiar with the basics can save time and reduce frustration during setup.
If you’re new to web hosting or just want a quick reference, keep this list handy for future use.
