: Can Google index a non-80/non-443 URL? Forgive me if this is a rather simple question but I have never encountered any search results before where they used a non-80 port on HTTP or non-443

@LarsenBagley505

Other standard ports include 8000 and 8080 for HTTP. But, since the port is physically specified in the HTTP URL, google can fetch from any port.

Sites can be picked up on alternates ports. As an example, search for www.google.co.uk/#q=:8080
You should see a result for Outgoing Port Tester on portquiz.net:8080 listed.

A bit further down you'll also see GLCF: Earth Science Data Interface on glcfapp.glcf.umd.edu:8080/esdi/ too.
