HN is too frequently updated, but for blogs or personal web pages it's okay. You can either use IPNS or update a DNS record each time you update your content. I chose the latter as years of experiences proved it more robust than IPNS (also, my registrar provides a very simple API that I can use to automatically update the appropriate DNS record, so this is done by the same Python script that update my IPFSite).
The downside is that hosting an IPFS node is quite heavy on the network. I have a reasonably good connection at home (a bit less than 1MB/s up, a bit more than 10MB/s down) and if I run the IPFS daemon locally I can't really use my internet connection for anything else. I used to rent a little VPS for that, but now I use the free-tier of temporal.cloud and it is sufficient for my usage.
