Assuming Cloudflare is being used, then the effort on your side is to run "ipfs add -r directory_of_your_site_content" on a machine that stays up (or a pinning service), and then you copy the hash into a DNS record.

The gain is that you don't manage any webservers, and other users can help host your site content and can keep your site alive after you stop hosting it on ipfs.

I find the concept of being able to make a site that outlives my ability to host it (and hopefully outlives me) as long as people find it worth pinning is super interesting.
