Hello All experienced Mauticians - I am new to this and setting up two M3 servers and I wanted to know what the consensus is. Port 80 or not?

Each server will have it’s own subdomain: [marketing.domain.com](http://marketing.domain.com) - which I believe will be better for cookies and/tracking. And also better than a subdirectory: [domain.com/marketing](http://domain.com/marketing).

But ‘marketing’ could have several apps in future not just mautic, analytics, reporting, grafana, etc. and also I just don’t like the idea that someone many chance into the mautic logon console. So…

Q: Is there any side-effet, disadvantages to using a different port for my Mautic installation - eg: [marketing.domain.com:44100](http://marketing.domain.com:44100)? Does anyting “break”?

Thanks in advance!
