Ipfs is awesome. It's more like bit torrent. You have hashes generated based on files. Same hash always points to same file, provided at least one ipfs node is mirroring it. You don't automatically mirror content with ipfs unless you elect to.
When you update your site, the hash must change, and thus the link changes as well.
Security stuff... Yeah it can be used maliciously just like bit torrent can, but ipfs hashes can be accessed also by ipfs.io/hash and I haven't heard of any problems with malware or anything of the sort, things get filtered out pretty quickly it seems.
Ipfs is awesome. Read the white paper ... It's such a nice middle layer for projects wanting to use a distributed file network without building out their own torrent network.
