 Creating a file server instance is as simple as:
 
 ```js
-new static.Server();
+new nodeStatic.Server();
 ```
 
 This will serve files in the current directory. If you want to serve files in a specific
 directory, pass it as the first argument:
 
 ```js
-new static.Server('./public');
+new nodeStatic.Server('./public');
 ```
 
 You can also specify how long the client is supposed to cache the files node-static serves:
 
 ```js
-new static.Server('./public', { cache: 3600 });
+new nodeStatic.Server('./public', { cache: 3600 });
 ```
 
 This will set the `Cache-Control` header, telling clients to cache the file for an hour.
