I strongly concur with Firebase Hosting. Several advantages in my mind:

  • As noted - SSL is provided. Strongly encouraged, even.
  • Easy integration with the Firebase DB, which was designed for SPAs to do a lot of things without requiring a hosted back-end middleware.
  • Easy integration with Google Cloud Functions, which provide some of that middleware support with node.js if you need it. Only bills you for the time actually used (and it scales to zero, unlike the newer App Engine offering).

Yeah I have heard great things about Firebase Hosting. I kind of got hooked on the idea of having zero costs associated with this project, just to see how easy it would be to do. Though the costs through Firebase would have been negligible. I'll keep it in mind for my next project!
