1..9|%{write-host $_:443}

I haven't found a way to properly escape the ':' character in the following

1..9|%{write-host 10.0.0.$_:443}

1..9|%{write-host 10.0.0.$_} works just fine but even

1..9|%{write-host 10.0.0.$_some arbitrary text} doesn't

anyone have a clue to give me?

try 1..9 | %{write-host 10.0.0.`:433}

Sorry, I misread what you wanted. This will include $_ value:
1..9 | %{write-host ("10.0.0." + $_ + ":433")}

1..9|%{write-host "10.0.0.$($_):443"}

This works:
1..9 | % { Write-Host $("10.0.0.$_"+":443") }

Funny, you would think that the parser would break out of "variable name" with the standard backtick escape
character...hmmm.

You can also use a blank space followed by the backspace escape character
(`b) after $_

1..9|%{write-host 10.0.0.$_ `b:443}
1..9|%{write-host 10.0.0.$_ `bsome arbitrary text}

Or:

1..9|%{write-host 10.0.0.${_}:443}

Using the delimited variable syntax where the variable name is enclosed in
braces.

or just quote the colon:

1..9|%{write-host 10.0.0.$_`:443}

That doesn't work for me.

10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433

Quoting the colon is what I tried first.

10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433
10.0.0.:433

That result surprised me.

Although this isn't as quick as some of the other suggestions, I've been
using this syntax more and more recently when scripting just because I find
it a bit easier to to read (since variables and formatting info can be
addressed separately):

1..9 | %{write-host ("10.0.0.{0}:443" -f $_)}
