Hello, I am current;y working on getting a web server up and running, and I need a bit of help. I have recently found out that my ISP blocks port 80 meaning that I am unable to host the server on it's normal port. I am wondering if there is any way to set up the domain without using port 80...
Can anyone assist me in this matter?

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: the details depend on the type of server. Is it apache, IIS, something else?

I am running apache on a computer using Ubuntu Server edition.

Setting which addresses and ports Apache uses

That is not quite the problem I am having...
My server is already listening on port 81 and I have forwarded the ports. I want to know if there is a way to set up my domain so people can type "domain.com" instead of "domain.com:81". Is there a way to do this using somthing like A records?

No. A browser will, by default, connect on port 80 unless told to do otherwise.

first ,you should bind you domain to you server ip.
second , build a http server in your server, and setup the http server.

the http server ,just lik apache.
use google ,you can find a lot of tutor about it.

SRV records can be used to specify what host and port a service is located on within a domain. For web browsers that support SRV records, the hostname and port can be specified for the provider of the web service.

For example if you ran the domain example.com, you SRV record would look like so:

_http._tcp.example.com. 86400 IN SRV 0 5 81 www.example.com.
