You must change the root user as well

I have taken other precautions as well - but the port number is probably one of the simplest changes to make and people who gave me advice here were 100% correct - there wasn't a single bad login after I had changed only the port number. After I changed the port number I went one step further and disabled password authentication for the VPS as well.

If someone really wanted to hack they probably will and can but for what I'm using the VPS for I feel I'm OK for now.

Thank you to Post4VPS and VirMach for my awesome VPS 9!
