You have to renew .eth domains yearly and they are a ripoff... IPFS is about as permanent as a .torrent file imho until proven otherwise. Like if you really wanted to accomplish this in the blockchain, everything's there for you without using some DNS abstraction (use a smart contract address, it won't change or expire) and without using IPFS, you can store on the blockchain. IPFS and ENS aren't necessary, and could be fads.
