We have our website hosted in a windows server 2012 server. Some staging sites are also hosted on same server in different port numbers like 5015, 5014.
Now I wanted one more site to be added and have added it n the port 8025, Im able to access the site from the server by its local ip as well as public domain name:port number, but im not able to access it from any other machine over internet.
- I have checked the firewall and it is off
- Even if I couldn't find any rules added for other ports I have added one inbound rule for the port number 8025, still not able access it
- I have compared all the IIS, application pool configurations of both 8014 and 8025 and nothing seems to be different
Please let me know possible solutions for this issue.

As stated in previous reply's, you can't access your server with domain:port because your hosting provider has that port blocked. Before you contact them and ask to allow access to your server's IP from port 8025, test connection with telnet:
telnet domain 8025
You should get error that looks like this:
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
Do telnet to your other domain that's working on 8015, telnet domain 8015
Send both telnet results to your hosting support with request to allow access to new port.
