I'd advise you not to filter SSH by IP, that would be the best way to lock you out of your server. Even if you find all the IP used by your ISP, you cannot predict when the IP range will change, and it DOES change. If you limit the IP that can SSH to your server, you will not be able to login when you are traveling and some urgent administration task need to be performed. And the most urgent tasks must often be performed when traveling... Set a strong password to your account (8+ characters, using letters up and lower case, numbers and punctuation signs), do not allow SSH to root account, enforce using sudo instead of su. That's the best way in a long run.
