If for each Request the processing of the request is same, then it is better that you use the same port with multiple threads to process it.

The usual practice is that for each functionality to have a different port in a system. For example FTP - Not Secured, SFTP - Secured.

It hardly makes any difference. All the activity with the ServerSocket itself is concerned with accepting connections and starting threads. There's no need for three ServerSockets and three threads to do this. In any case as they will all be listening to different ports, which one gets used is determined by the client, so it's pretty pointless: all clients could end up using only one of the ServerSockets.
