i think i'm going to port map the router to public port 81 to private port 80 (this way no changes in the sever
But how does this affect when i point my domain over to it? how will peoples computer know to use port 81?
I've never actually tried this, but I'm afraid that people have to actually include port 81 in the link in order to get to your page, even when using domain; for example:
[
www.your_domain.com]
It's not very convenient though, so I suggest that you should convince your isp to open port 80 for you, but remember NEVER mention about web server or wamp or Apache, so on, or you can go for another option is to sign up for some host that reroutes the domain for you so people don't have to include that port in url

also i didn't see it on your site but since this is a WWW server is there any ohter thing i should do to help stop hackers and things?
There is a lot of options and different people might have different ways to secure their server; for example, I have ssl, mod_security, mod_private, double authentication for email and ftp, so on, but some people might say that "sh*t, I dont need those craps, but my server is way more secure than yours...", so I can't say that my idea is better than yours, he he... he he... ;-)
