Furthermore, people used no-ip.com's dynamic dns service to automatically forward the url name requests like www.happy.com to www.happy.com:8015, thereby eliminating the ugliness of forcing your customers to specify the ports.
* Prior to following the steps in this guide to hosting your web server, make sure you read the Verizon ToS, which states the following:
You also may not exceed the bandwidth usage limitations that Verizon may establish from time to time for the Service, or use the Service to host any type of server. Violation of this section may result in bandwidth restrictions on your Service or suspension or termination of your Service.
That said, be careful and charging on :)

This works, but you have to make sure you change the general security settings on the firewall to low to allow for inbound traffic. This may open your network to attacks so you should probably know how to set up your own firewall inside your network.
