yes you can do it

static (inside,outside) tcp w.x.220.1 80 1.2.2.17 80 netmask 255.255.255.255

static (inside,outside) tcp w.x.220.1 81 1.2.2.18 80 netmask 255.255.255.255

Just adding to the great answer before, you also need to allow that traffic into the outside access-list

access-list outside_in permit tcp any host w.x.220.1 eq 80

access-list outside_in permit tcp any host w.x.220.1 eq 81

access-group outside_in in interface outside

Hmm i never used the ASA 5540 specifically for web hosting. Is it mainly for security or can it handle normal hosting traffic too? Also, wondering if pairing it with a fast and secure business website hosting makes any noticeable difference in performance. Has anyone actually tried running websites on this setup?

So you have a 5540 publicly exposed on the internet in 2025?
