Hello,

If you want users to access the site then they will have to specify the port
in the url like this https://www.your-host.domain:80/... and if someone types
https://www.your-host.domain/ or
http://www.your-host.domain/ s/he will not be able to access the site. That
means users will have to remember that your secure site runs on port 80.. and
users just might not care to remember that..

This is what i think.

Other than that it would be confusing and you'd have to specify the
port in the URL, I don't think so (of course, those may be problems
enough).
