Hi Ronald.

Standard Ports - here you can see the ports that are configured to some default services,

As he wrote the port number - the reason is - he either configured it himself to connect to his WebServer with this port or the Service Provider gave him this port to connect with that user (where he bought the service).

More reading about PORTS . Read this link to get the idea why Ports are used for and how.

Happy Coding!!!
