You can request us to open an outgoing port on your server for you by contacting us. Log in your Client area and look for the “?” icon in the top right corner. Click on it and a pop-up window will appear. Select View Help Center and click on the Contact Us tab > Other > Report Other Technical issues. Include the destination IP for which you wish the port to be opened and the corresponding port number.

Due to the SiteGround security policy, custom incoming ports can NOT be opened per customer request on our servers.
