... the reason you have to put in a port number is that the default port 80 is used your web browser and if I am not mistaken you wont be able to do any day to day browsing.
Not so. Ports below 1024 are reserved for well-known services. Your web browser uses an arbitrary open port with four or more digits. You can easily run both a server and a browser on the same machine.
