Instead of typing http://localhost:8080/, I want to type the web server name like http://webserver/ and this should take me to default web page.
BTW, using "webserver" vs "localhost" is a DNS matter. localhost is (most likely) hardcoded to 127.0.0.1 in etc/hosts (or C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts). For your machine to be know on the web as whatever.net, you need someone with a DNS server to publish the name and link it to your IP address. Most companies and universities have the ability to do this, but if you are sitting at home with a cable modem, you'll have to someone to do it for you. There are some free services out there, do a google search. If you don't have a static IP, you'll need to software running that will dynamically monitor it and update the service.
That's probably way more simplified than you needed, but I wasn't sure...
