But when I do and try to start the site I get the message that "Another Web Site maybe using this port". I can set up any other port # but the 443. How do I find out what site is using this port 443 (I checked all sites in the IIS and none is using this port, as far as I can see).

Not true. As Al mentioned 443 is the default port for HTTPS. But all that means is that if you enter 'https:xxx.com' in the browser it will try hitting the server on 443 (in just the same way if you entered http:xxx.com it would default to port 80). There's nothing that says that a server has to listen on 80 or 443 - any ports can be used for either http or https.
