multiplayer game

Hey all, I'm bored at work and I'm thinking about making a game in flash. I'm looking to push my skills a little, and I want to try and make a multiplayer game, and since I have a shared server on here I'm looking for advice. I'm reading some tutorials and it looks like I need to set a port for the game, but i'm not sure what port would be the best.

Also, I'm going to keep the game protected so only a few friends can play, so it won't be a drain on resources. Thanks for any advice anyone can give.

The only thing that matters is that the port isn't taken or reserved, there are like 8000 free ones to use. I made Tic-Tac-Toe multiplayer in Flash one time, used C++ for the server back before I forgot it. What language are you planning on using for the game server?
