What is Firebase Hosting?
Answer
Firebase Hosting is a production-grade web hosting service for static assets (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images) and dynamic content via Cloud Functions or Cloud Run. Key features: (1) Global CDN — content served from Fastly's global CDN with SSL by default; (2) One-command deploy — firebase deploy uploads and deploys in seconds; (3) Preview channels — firebase hosting:channel:deploy preview creates temporary preview URLs for testing before production; (4) Multiple sites — host multiple websites from one Firebase project; (5) Custom domains — configure custom domains with automatic SSL certificate provisioning; (6) Version history — easily roll back to previous deployments; (7) Framework integrations — official support for Next.js, Angular, Nuxt, and other frameworks via the firebase-frameworks experiment. Hosting is ideal for SPAs (React, Vue, Angular), static sites, and full-stack apps with Firebase backend services.
