Firebase Hosting vs GitHub Pages: What are the differences?
Firebase Hosting: Production-grade web content hosting. It is production-grade web content hosting for developers. With a single command, you can quickly deploy web apps and serve both static and dynamic content to a global CDN (content delivery network). You can also pair it with Cloud Functions or Cloud Run to build and host microservices; GitHub Pages: Public webpages freely hosted and easily published. Public webpages hosted directly from your GitHub repository. Just edit, push, and your changes are live.
Firebase Hosting and GitHub Pages belong to "Static Web Hosting" category of the tech stack.
According to the StackShare community, GitHub Pages has a broader approval, being mentioned in 775 company stacks & 4401 developers stacks; compared to Firebase Hosting, which is listed in 12 company stacks and 6 developer stacks.
We use Netlify to host static websites.
The reasons for choosing Netlify over GitHub Pages are as follows:
- Netfily can bind multiple domain names, while GitHub Pages can only bind one domain name
- With Netfily, the original repository can be private, while GitHub Pages free tier requires the original repository to be public
In addition, in order to use CDN, we use Netlify DNS.
