Maybe temporarily switch to a different address? And leave fake addresses to catch the ddos. Then just keep changing addresses using an IPFS system to front-end the new address?

There's no way to do this and let visitors know what the new addresses are, without also giving the new addresses to the attackers.

IPFS is a real solution though

Lol, no, the Blockchain has never been a "real solution", and it never will be.

How is anyone still on the Web3 hype train?

IPFS is not built on a blockchain

Yeah, it's just a modern peer-to-peer content distribution network
