Do you know which resellers using control panel port 80?

I don't think that's possible since port 80 is the default HTTP port and is used to serve websites. Control panels are usually run on a different port so that the webserver can be run as root or a user with permission to create/edit/delete in all users directories and also execute commands on the server. So if you put your control panel on port 80, you would have to move normal websites to another port and that is not very smart!

Can I ask why you want a reseller with the control panel on port 80?

Can I ask why you want a reseller with the control panel on port 80?Firewall issues perhaps? I have that problem. Can't access WHM/Cpanel from work due to blocked ports. Somone had suggested using a proxy server to get around it and I am currently looking into that. I believe there are also web sites/services that could accomplish the same thing.

But that may not even be the issue for lovewht.

Actually, it is possible using iptables and a couple of IP addresses.
