For a iOS project we're working on, we're thinking of hosting a Push Notification intermediate server (for example pyapns) on our WebFaction account. There are alternatives to specifically pyapns, but the principles are the same; it's a service being run on the server (with Twisted or similar) that keeps a persistent connection to Apples servers. Our webapp will then communicate with that server via a port to localhost.
All this said, I've done some initial tests, and pyapns with this setup seems to work as intended :) asked 08 May '13, 16:19 alleus |

As Seth stated, the way to reserve a port is to simply create a new " answered 08 May '13, 19:30 ryans ♦♦ Ah, I just assumed that you should create a Custom Application for HTTP-based services being accessed from the outside. Thank you!

For the last question, just create an custom "Application (listening on port)" and you'll get a reserved port you are guaranteed to be able to use without conflicts.
