And notice those weird hashed links? IPFS hashes.

As a quick primer, it's a hash that points towards a directory of content. Everything's deduplicated. Based on Torrents, GIT, and self-referential filesystems.

an IPFS hash is immutable. The hash points at the hash, no matter what. Indestructible. Publish stuff by

ipfs add -r folder

An IPNS hash points towards an IPFS hash. It's a pointer you publish every 12 hours. It IS mutable. Do this by

ipfs name publish <ipfs key of resource>

The browser plugins with IPFS running allow you to pull the DNS text record of the IPNS hash, and you never touch the website!

Example, PageNodes :

http://ipfs.io/ipns/QmVjH4F65fnqy1GkBBYiuAkdazKzYsw3LbMVANGF... POINTS AT ---> http://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmbLPfyehFnViKZpU237P6a6DpjCfWFSoDBMQFGU...

Tl;Dr. DDoS makes no sense regarding IPFS. Everybody makes the network faster.
