Re: Changing SSH and Apache ports

What nobody has mentioned is that this buys next to no security.  A port
scan will find your service regardless of the port.

Also, changing the port number can make your service hard to reach for
legitimate users; for example from inside my workplace the prxoy would
not permit me to reach a web site served on port 666.

Moving port numbers around is usually pointless. Not always, just usually.

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
