sshd with -p PORT:

-p port Specifies the port on which the server listens for connections (default 22). Multiple port options are permitted. Ports specified in the configuration file with the Port option are ignored when a command-line port is specified. Ports specified using the ListenAddress option override commandline ports.

You can edit sshd config(/etc/ssh/sshd_config):

Port 1337

You want the Port directive in the sshd_config file, or alternatively sshd -p.
See man sshd & man sshd_config for more information.

You should read man sshd or man sshd.conf it is quite clear.

isn't there a command i can run per each instance of ssh? – HollerTrain Jan 31 '11 at 18:45
No because you'd have to connect first then change port – Jacob Jan 31 '11 at 18:48
ssh -p 2222 www.mywebsite.com – HollerTrain Jan 31 '11 at 19:12

Just change the (possibly commented, in which case you obviously need to uncomment it) "Port 22" line in your ssh server configuration file to "Port 1337".

i only have one client that uses port 1337, other use regular port so i would rather just use the command line to connect that port each time – HollerTrain Jan 31 '11 at 18:48
ssh -p 2222 www.mywebsite.com – HollerTrain Jan 31 '11 at 18:54
Do you want to connect to an ssh server running on port 1337, or do you want to run a server on that particular port? You comment seems to indicate the former while the original question seems to indicate the latter. – Eraser Jan 31 '11 at 19:05
