I like that it's easier and easier to host HTML content "for free" on the web.
However, I'm a bit concerned when I look at the size, breadth and growth of cloudfare (ie, cloudfare absorbing the web). As a way to lessen these concerns, I would really, really like it if they were to offer cloudfare pages as an IPFS (or gnunet, hypercore, etc) gateway too.
Modify your pages and publish it on IPFS, have the changes propagated on cloudfare: that would be nice :)

- MayeulC 6y ago> Using Cloudflare’s gateway, you can also build a website that’s hosted entirely on IPFS, but still available to your users at a custom domain name. ... Don't tell me it's already doable? This is awesome!!! https://developers.cloudflare.com/distributed-web/ipfs-gateway/connecting-website https://developers.cloudflare.com/distributed-web/ipfs-gatew... 1. CNAME for your.website pointing to cloudflare-ipfs.com 2. TXT record for _dnslink.your.website with the value dnslink=/ipfs/<your_hash_here> And you have a website hosted on both http and ipfs? I'm stoked! Thanks a lot for pointing this out! I did encounter cloudfare's IPFS gateway (on libgen, of all the places) shortly after writing my previous comment, but I hadn't imagined they offered such a pages system with it. I don't know if they cache the pages, though?
