Adding Port Number in DNS name

Nagaraj Hebbar (IN) 1

Hi,
I have Created a VM Machine and hosted one server in the same VM so I was trying to access it with DNS name (http://dnsname.com:8000) is there any we we can include port number in DNS ? so that when I hit the URL it should be accessable?

Currently the URL is : http://dnsname.com:8000 I want it to be http://dnsname.com

What's currently listening on port 80 (standard web port on that server)? Can you change your site to use port 80/443 instead of 8000?

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer your question.

If I understand your question correctly, you want to access the site using HTTP://dnsname.com and it should redirect to https://dnsname.com:8080. To achieve it, you can use the IIS URTL rewrite modules. You should install the URL Rewrite and the ARR (Application Request Routing) modules for IIS. Here are two links on how these can work together to create a reverse proxy to do what you want:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/extensions/url-rewrite-module/reverse-proxy-with-url-rewrite-v2-and-application-request-routing

Please share more details if my understanding is not correct. Happy to assist you further.
