My Account is free it's possible that with a payment Account openshift let me make binding to several port (open several sockect).

You need super-user permission to bind to a port under 1024. — user207421, Aug 19 '14 at 10:34

For plain WebSockets ws:// you can port 8000 and for secured connections wss:// port 8443. This blog goes into more detail https://www.openshift.com/blogs/paas-websockets and should point you in the right direction.
