What does this mean?
Port 443 is open on the host. This is the standard port for encrypted HTTPS traffic and is both expected and desirable for any host serving a secure website. This finding is informational only and carries zero weight in your DNS Health score.
Why this is raised
DNS Watchdog records the open ports it discovers on each host so that your inventory reflects the host's actual exposure. Port 443 being open is exactly what you want for a secure web service, so this is surfaced for visibility rather than as something to fix.
