Make a website use port 8080 automatically instead of port 80?
So I set my desktop up to host a website because fuck free hosts :< and I can't use port 80, so I have it on 8080 instead. To be able to get to it though I have to type the adress and add port 8080 at the end otherwise it goes to port 80 automatically. This is kind of annoying, is there a way to fix it?

I'm using ubuntu to host it. It's in the DMZ because that's easier than forwarded ports :>


tl;dr Website I'm hosting has to be lololurl.com:8080 since I can't host on port 80 which is the normal thing, I guess. I want it to just be lololurl.com while still using a different port. Using http://freedns.afraid.org/menu/ for the dns
