const files = fs.readFileSync("new.html");

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.statusCode = 200;
  // give correct input for html
  res.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");
  res.end(files);
});

server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
  console.log(`Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/`);
  console.log("Done")
