Not an expert, but:
IPFS is p2p, but all the content is accessed only by a hash, so the same address always refers to the same version; when you update the site, you're actually creating a new address, leaving the old untouched.
Using Cloudflare, you can tie a regular domain to one of these addresses, but that "tie" is only stored there, so when you push a new version, you can update the Cloudflare settings, and everyone connecting to the domain will see the new version "immediately", even if the old version still exists in the p2p
network.
