getting a new ISP after this... i use verizon. well... for now im using port
8080. i want to know if theres a way so people dont have to type

The only way i can think of is to set up a "homepage" at your
provider, or on some free webspace and put a redirection in it.
Your visitors would type
http://www.your-site-at-your-provider.net/
There you have a file index.html which just contains:
<html>
<head>
<META http-equiv="refresh"
content="1;http://www.yoursite.com:8080/index.html">
<title>
Please wait...
</title>
</head>
<body>
Please wait...
</body>
</html>
The META line can be one line.
The disadvantage is your visitors get to see the "ugly" URL in their
address bar, but at least they don't have to type it.
Several No-IP / DynDNS etc. serviceproviders offer a redirection
service just like that, which even handles dynamic IP addresses.
That said, a word of warning is in place. You might be violating the
agreement between you and your ISP, which might say:
"Thou shallt not run any server on thy home equipment".

Nope, that is against the spirit of usenet.
Ask here, get the answer here, that's how it works.
Have fun.

If the IP is dynamic, the dyndns service will require the use of a second
program, to periodically check and update the IP address with the service.

A piece of motorway and piece of dual carriage way are enjoying a drink in
the pub. In walks a piece of red tarmac. The motorway whispers to the
carrageway "Come on lets drink up and go before the trouble starts; He's a
cyclepath!"
