In this article, you will understand how you can set up Port 8080 on Windows Server 2019 or Windows Server 2016. This port is a trendy alternative to port 80 for offering web services. “8080” was chosen since it is “two times 80”, and also because it is above the restricted well-known service port range.
If you want to set up port 8080 directly inside the Windows server then you can do it this way as seen below.
