The simple solution is to just run Apache on a higher port. Cox usually only
blocks the standard ports like 80 and 25. If you have Apache running on,
say, port 8090, then it won't be blocked. This isn't feasible if you expect
random people to go to your website, but if your audience is all friends and
family, you can just tell them the port number along with your URL.
