I use PagePark to serve many of my sites. 

It has evolved over the last couple of years to be a very nice little HTTP server, running in Node. The idea is that it does 90 percent of a what a full server does, but it's designed to be easy and powerful for the site-runner. 

I haven't had any complaints about the performance, but I wouldn't use it to run a big site like Google or GitHub. 

It has lots of ways of doing redirects, because that's how you fight linkrot as websites evolve. I always forget what the various values are named so I took a few hours and wrote the docs I've always wanted. Here they are.

PagePark: Programming your website.

Nothing earth-shaking. File it under "nice to have."

Still diggin! ;-)
