Does SSL need port 80 open as well or only 443?

No, no need for port 80 to be open if you want to use solely HTTPS ..My own knowledge base made public: http://open902.com

No, why?
Like anything, that's just the default port. You can probably configure whatever you're using to use a port of your choosing. -

Indeed, if you run a website on 8080 there is no need to open anything else either.
UNLESS : You have a redirect page which forwards every HTTP request to HTTPS, then you would need to open port 80 too, otherwise the redirect won't work.My own knowledge base made public: http://open902.com -
