The problem, as I'm sure you've already heard from potential customers to the
jeweler, is that port 7820 is not a standard port and will not be allowed
outbound behind any application-layer gateway firewall.  This eliminates the
majority of people sitting at work from shopping for a diamond!  You certainly
wouldn't want to use a non-standard http port for any production website.  It
might be okay for a hobby BBS, but definitely not for a business.
