You are probably trying to host a site from your home using your cable internet. Unfortunately cable providers block port 80 so that people cannot host websites from home. I think you can pay a per month fee for them to enable port 80 for you.
Hosting your site in any other port besides 80 or ssl port 443 require you to put the port number in the URL. If you absolutely have to use another port use port 8080 coz most of the times company firewalls block other ports and your site won't be accessible from outside.
