Firebase Hosting, in my opinion, the easiest and beginner friendly way to host your website seamlessly. I haven't tried other hosting services (except Heroku). If you have one, comment down below!

However, when you deploy your web project the firebase hosting, you will the get a default url:

XXXXX.firebaseapp.com

That's when domains come in. In short, domains are the addresses of your projects. They convert the human readable address to an ip address that your web project is being stored.

You can buy domains from GoDaddy, Google. However, I chose NameCheap because I am a cheapskate. I find that registering your NameCheap domain with firebase hosting is not exactly great. Thus, this a brief tutorial on it. Full video below.

First, you need to get a domain name in NameCheap.

Second, go to the Firebase Hosting of your project. Click on add custom domain and key in your custom domain.Leave the checkbox that says redirect to an existing website, unchecked. Click continue.

Copy the statement below the value header:google-site-verification=somethingsom4eth6in7g

Let's go to NameCheap dasboard. you need to go to Domain List > ManageClick on the domain you want to register > Advanced DNS > Add New Record.

Create an TXT Record, with a @ as host, instead of the url as the host.

Moreover, create a CNAME record withwww as the host and the value with your domain.

This will be verified after a couple of minutes. You are one step away from using your custom domain.

Once done, you will be brought to the last page,GO LIVE. You have to add 2A Record with the host @ instead of your custom domain into the Advanced DNS settings.

You have to wait for a while for the domain to be secured by Firebase. Refresh the page after a few minutes, and you will see the Pending status.

You can visit your web app, which is not secured, yet.

It may take up to 24 hours, but it will probably take less.
