I consider IPNS fundamentally broken and have stopped using it. ENS is better in almost every way and is extremely reliable so it's not that big of deal.

IPFS and ENS work pretty seamlessly together (https://medium.com/the-ethereum-name-service/ethdns-9d56298f...), but some folks also want the mutable pointers layer of IPNS too. We're working on making that faster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XniIDIXU8RE&t=10s

How can I register an ENS domain/id? I've found very little practical info on a cursory search.

There's probably a simple article out there but I'll summarize it a bit:

You go to https://manager.ens.domains/ to register a .eth address and on the settings page for your domain you add a Content record and point it to ipfs://Qma7nxS98CAb2BTaxLJBSFozxxSp5XTu6tMtCrKcRQ9ByV or whatever the IPFS hash of your website is.

After that you can visit your site at https://myname.eth in a browser that supports ENS/IPFS or you can go to https://myname.eth.link in any browser and see your website.

This is what I needed, thanks!

I created a service to make it easy to buy and configure ENS domains in one step. Hope it helps! www.namestack.io.

That's helpful, thank you. Unfortunately it looks like .eth domains have already been squatted to hell.
