htons() receives a unsigned short integer type.
You should use htonl(), which recieves unsigned long integer type.

If you are planning to use that as a TCP port number in sin_port in a sockaddr_in struct, you should be aware that this is a 16-bit unsigned integer and is limited to 65536. In this case, leave it a htons but change the number.
