# Uploading to IPFS

There are two ways to get your dWebsite content onto IPFS and keep it available:

* [Self-Hosting Instructions for IPFS and IPNS](/documentation/beginner/how-to-use-ipfs-ipns/uploading-to-ipfs/self-hosting-instructions-for-ipfs-and-ipns.md) — upload and pin from your own machine using IPFS Desktop
* [Hosting using a pinning service](/documentation/beginner/how-to-use-ipfs-ipns/uploading-to-ipfs/hosting-using-a-pinning-service.md) — let a pinning service keep your content online for you
