Hello, we are running a educational website and from last 2 days we are facing a lot of attacks. we want to change default Apache Port ( 80 ) and does it affect anything on website? means does website goes down if we change apache port ? and also i want to change cpanel,whm,webmail ports so that no one can try to login into them. and also i want to ask that does NGINX protects from DDOS Attacks ?

  Hey there! You wouldn't want to change the Apache port to something other than 80 as that would cause all of your websites to go offline. If you are seeing a consistent series of attacks you may want to try something like mod_evasive to see if that helps:

  As for the cPanel and WHM ports, you wouldn't be able to change those. It would be best to use the WHM >> Host Access Control functions to only allow trusted IPs to access those services. You can find more details on that here:
