Is Siteground blocking connection to bitbucket?

julierankin

Hello, 

I am attempting to deploy a bitbucket project to a client's Siteground server but I am unable to make a connection I just get a notification that the connection has timed out. All keys appear to be accurate and in place and I read that Siteground may be blocking port 22 unless whitelisted. I have a support ticket out to Siteground to confirm if connection to bitbucket is possible, but thanks for any assistance you can provide in the meantime.

Are you asking about Siteground -> Bitbucket, or Bitbucket -> Siteground?

If Siteground is blocking SSH connections to Bitbucket, then you should be able to use altssh.bitbucket.org port 443 instead. Your git and hg clones would then look something like this:

git clone ssh://git@altssh.bitbucket.org:443/owner/repo.git
hg clone ssh://hg@altssh.bitbucket.org:443/owner/repo

If Siteground is blocking connections from Bitbucket, then you'll need to follow up with them - there isn't really much we can do about the ports they have open.
