My ISP blocked port 80, how can I run a web server?

A.   Setup your web server to listen to other ports such as 8080 instead of 80. Then you will need DNS Plus Service that covers Web/URL Forward. Upgrade your DNS Service of the domain to DNS Plus Service.

At the Web/URL Forwarding section of the DNS Setup Page, you will enter

      http://www.yourdomain.com

forward to

    http://www2.yourdomain.com:8080

You can select cloaking option to keep the original URL in the location field of the browser. You also need to setup www2 as either a host or alias so that we know where to forward the URL to.
