For cases where the ISP blocks port 80, dyndns has a service that will forward port 80 requests to the port of the subscriber's choice. That way the subscriber can use a different port without being lost to the rest of the world. For my limited, personal web uses, I choose to serve my pages via SSL. Port 80 is blocked by my firewall.
