The browsers use port 80 by default, not sure why you'd want to change this other than your isp blocking the port. If thats the case, your visitors will need to change the port or access via a link on another site with it already coded.

If you're just trying to host multiple sites, look into host headers

One other note, if you have some other need to use the port internally, your router may be able to take the request on port 80 and change it to 8081 for you....
