aw, man... my consulting web page is hosted there. Now I've gotta move it - costs $5 for a custom domain at Firebase.

[Firebase Cofounder] The reason <your_app>.firebaseapp.com sites are free and custom domains are $5/mo with Firebase Hosting is HTTPS-only. Our cost-of-goods-sold includes auto-provisioning the SSL cert for the domain.

Part of our philosophy is providing services that work well, and hopefully better, together. Our realtime database only accepts SSL connections and doing the same with Hosting means when you build on Firebase your whole app is encrypted by default.

We're excited to use Divshot's tech make Firebase Hosting even better going forward.
