About
Firebase Hosting is a managed hosting service for static websites and single-page web apps. It is designed to help teams deploy content quickly through a global CDN with built-in SSL, preview channels, and rollback support from the Firebase CLI.
The service also supports modern frontend workflows, including popular frameworks such as React, Vite, and Vue. It is positioned for developers who want fast, secure delivery of static content with simple deployment and optional custom domains.
- Global CDN delivery for fast content distribution
- Zero-configuration SSL certificates and custom domains
- Temporary preview channels for sharing changes before launch
- Single-command deployment with the Firebase CLI
- Support for multiple sites per project
Free Tier Value
This free tier is a capped but genuinely usable starter offering: it includes Hosting with 10 GB of storage and 360 MB/day of transfer, plus custom domains, SSL, and multiple sites per project. Compared with the paid Blaze option, the free allowance is roughly a small slice of the overall value, so a reasonable buyer-equivalent estimate is about $2/month; no payment method is needed, and the offer is perpetual rather than a short trial.
