Yes.

In fact, [ENS Manager](https://app.ens.domains/) has [Temporal IPFS Pinning Service](https://temporal.cloud/) integrated into their web based domain manager. But, there’s no requirement to utilize that particular pinning service or ENS (with today’s crazy gas prices… $4 USD to change a record). Just supply the IPNS record and use any pinning service and/or run your own gateway.

If you want to access the IPFS based website via a standard TLD, you’ll need to use dnslink:

If you need TLS with certificates that are associated with the TLD, you’ll need to front your site with a standard webserver.
