Does a public webserver need to accept incoming from more than port 80?

Probably in than email is outgoing means servers have to reply but beyond that, what's the bare minimum portlist that a public-facing webserver (iis7 with same-box sql) have to admit?

iis-7

  1. Just 80 is all you need for public web service. Add 443 if you have SSL in the mix.

    If you're using defaults -

    80 is HTTP

    443 is HTTPS

    Just 80 if you don't use HTTPS

    And then any ports you need open for remote access if you need it.
