Hosting Website On Firebase

This instruction is for making newbies work easy so that they can follow exactly the same steps I am giving below

1. Create a folder name website on desktop
2. Create another folder within the website folder name it as public.
3. Add your HTML/CSS/JS and images files to the public folder

Make sure the main page of your website is named as an index.html

Note:Firebase hosting does not support any server-side scripts such as Ruby, PHP, Python, or anything else that is processing your files before output. That would require an application engine such as Google App Engine, Heroku, or similar. The hosting service is a static website hosting service.

Before starting install node js on your device.

Once you are done with installing Node JS Follow the steps:

• Go to firebase.google.com and click on Get started.
• Click on Add Project.
• Enter your Project name and continue.

example:

reboot13-dev

• Enable google analytics on your project if you want to track users and click on continue.

Firebase will create your project within a few seconds

• Click on continue.
