You need to add the port number because 80's the default for the web browsers.

You will not be able to do that. All web browsers are designed to connect to port 80, and will so unless you provide the :port addon to the address.

Or you could get a small hosting account on another server. Then, have that page redirect to your site with the :port addon. For example, register another domain (http://www.mynewdomain.com). Then have it hosted on another server. Make the index page a php with this :

<?php header("Location: http://www.myolddomain.com:port/"); ?>
