I wrote this simple HTTP server to park domains I've bought but not yet used. But I kept going and added all the features I want to help me manage my own websites, far beyond just parking them. But I liked the name so I kept it. Think of it as a nice park where you keep your pages. ;-)
It's written in JavaScript and runs in Node.js.

9. There are three special endpoints on all domains: /version, /now and /status that return the version of PagePark that's running, the time on the server and the stats and prefs.
#### File extensions
The extension of a file determines how PagePark serves it.

#### config.json files in domains folders
On every request, PagePark looks at the top level of the domain folder for a file named config.json. If it finds it, it reads it and the values in the file control how the request is handled.
Here's a <ahref="https://github.com/scripting/pagePark/blob/master/docs/config.md">docs page</a> that lists the values and what they control.
#### JavaScript sample code
I've iterated over the code to try to make it good sample code for JavaScript projects.
Websites evolve over time, and PagePark has features that help you adjust things so links keep working after the change. Some of the features described on this page are here to help you prevent linkrot! That's how prevalent it is.

Another thing you'll want to do is pass the content through various processors. The file extensions control that. So if a file name ends with .md, it is passed through the Markdown processor. If it's .js, it's assumed to contain JavaScript code, and that code is run, and the value it returns is what we return. You can also control whether or not the scripts run.

All the values described here are added to a config.json file that's stored at the top level of a domain folder. Any time a request comes in for that domain, we read the config.json file in its folder, if there is one, and the values are applied to the request.

If you set this value false, none of the JavaScript files in the domain folder will be processed. They will be served as text, with the source code in the file.
