Opinions On Google Web Hosting As The Best Hosting Service

A person who wants to build a website for their business wanted to know if Google web hosting would be a good service for their needs. It is a cloud-based web hosting service. The person added that they are new to web design, so they do not know a lot about the features and whether or not they would need cloud hosting versus some other kind of hosting. The person posted this question to a large online discussion community of other website designers and programmers.

One person replied with a suggestion to try Netlify. They said that it is ideal for a beginner, easy to learn how to use and has a free tier plan with a lot of basic features that would be good for a person who is just getting started. Several others chimed in and said that they moved their websites to Netlify and have had a good experience with every aspect of the hosting service. A different person added a caveat that it is only for static sites. If the site is going to use any SQL, PHP or frameworks, then it would not be a good option for the original poster.

A different person suggested Firebase. They said that it is a free Google product. They have used it and had an easy time of it. This individual found the documentation to be helpful, and it was easy to get started with the service. Another person added that it is one of the easiest services to use and few places or services have better documentation than Google.

A person wanted to know how Firebase compares to Netlify. Someone else had a long explanation of which web hosting service to used based on the functionality of the site. In the end, this person said that it would be a wash because one hosting service does one thing well and another thing at a mediocre level, and the next one has the opposite setup in place. The original poster would need to prioritize features versus ease of use and what their site's functionality will need to be.
