As an aside, if you want to be reachable on that port from the internet, you probably need to set up port forwarding on your router.– JanOct 15, 2014 at 12:43

In general, for Linux, ports 1-1024 can only be opened by root. Ports 1025-65535 can be opened by anyone.
If you wanted to, you can use all 65535 ports for some purpose.
