Hi,
this is my first post, so bare with my obvious level of naivety. I recently obtained an ens domain and explored its usage together with static websites. I must admit that I am really not convinced about the whole IPFS thing and personally prefer to host my website on my personal webserver or cloud provider of choice.
A connection of my traditional web adress to whatever other web2 service is quite straight forward through things like A, AAAA, CNAME, ALIAS. However, it seems that this connection is really harsh for eth domains. I search for a while but could not find any solutions. To make it very concrete:
Is there any way to host a static website on github pages and then connect it to my ens ? Just like this one here with the content being hosted on github…
If this is not possible could someone explain roughly the main technical challenges ? In other words, is this “just unsexy” or technically so hard that this will just not happen any time soon.

Hi @fretchen.eth we have just started to build https://alpha.dweb.host where you can deploy any public GitHub repositories with build command specified in the package.json file and output directory is dist.
Here is an example 2048 game deployed with our tool: https://2048.optidomains.eth.limo
We are trying to fix UX problem in the next few releases and provide a Vercel-like configurable UI.
It’s still have a lot of features ongoing…
If you would like to collaborate or feature suggestion, feel free to reply in this thread.
Hello @fretchen.eth You can build a decentralized website with Webhash.com, a no-code decentralized website builder. We have more than 90 templates available on the platform, and websites are deployed permanently on IPFS and connect your ENS domain to your website.
For GitHub deployment, we are launching Webhash Pro, where you can connect your Git account and deploy a static HTML site or React apps to IPFS, then link them to your ENS domain.
Note: Webhash Pro is launching soon.
