TCP/UDP Port Numbers

I have compiled some of the very useful list of port numbers (unofficial) used by server administrators. If you are managing a server under VPS or dedicated, this could be more than helpful. You can also refer to Official Port Number & Assignments from IANA website or even a TCP/UDP ports from wikipedia.

Port 21 –> TCP –> FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
Port 22 –> TCP/UDP –> SSH (ssh,scp copy or sftp)
Port 23 –> TCP/UDP –> Telnet
Port 25 –> TCP/UDP –> SMTP (for sending outgoing emails)
Port 43 –> TCP –> WHOIS function
Port 53 –> TCP/UDP –> DNS Server (DNS lookup uses UDP and Zone transfers use TCP)
Port 70 –> TCP –> Gopher Protocol
Port 79 –> TCP –> Finger protocol
Port 110 –> TCP –> POP3 (for receiving email)
Port 119 –> TCP –> NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol)
Port 143 –> TCP/UDP –> IMAP4 Protocol (for email service)

Port 2087 –> TCP –> CPanel Webhost Manager (with https)
Port 2095 –> TCP –> CPanel Webmail
Port 2096 –> TCP –> Cpanel secure webmail over SSL
Port 2222 –> TCP –> DirectAdmin Server Control Panel
Port 3306 –> TCP/UDP –> MySQL Database Server
