A slightly better solution is to redirect the name to your domain and port, with a different sub-domain. For example, www.yourdomain.com and yourdomain.com would both redirect to www2.yourdomain.com:43, where www2.yourdomain.com routes to your IP address. If you have a good DNS host, this should be trivial to set up.
