How to Hosting Project Into Firebase
Firebase is a service from Google that provides some convenience for developers in developing something in their application. By using firebase, we or developers can focus more on application development.
In terms of service. in the past, Firebase provided its services on a trial, but at this time Firebase provides its services for free. But for free, it has its limitations in terms of features.
