My management told me not to use a reverse proxy Yes, you can do this without a reverse proxy, but removing the port number can be a bit of an issue, which is why a reverse proxy is sometimes recommended: it's just easier that way -- especially if another web server is already available for that purpose. For more help, you'll have to give us more information about your environment: OS, other services already available on the network, etc. For example, if an appropriate reverse proxy is already available, then you can point your DNS record to that proxy, and use a virtual host for that domain name.
