I am trying to free some space in my hosting storage on Firebase. In the Release History list (Firebase Hosting console), you can delete deployed history. Is this can free some space when you delete old versions?
I am new to the web I appreciate if someone can help me here.
Thanks
Old versions of your web site indeed contribute to the Hosting storage of your project. Cleaning up old versions that you don't need anymore is a great way to reduce the Hosting storage charges.
If you have more than a few dozen old versions that take a significant amount of storage, and you want to clean thos up, reach out to Firebase support who may be abe to do this automated for you.

As a frontend engineer and where the freelance market seems to be, I'd like to dig into some WordPress stuff and build one for myself to at least know how to play around with it. And soon later I'll dig into backend and probably would deploy a dynamic website.
I'd like to find an option for a way that could host both, and also I can learn and develop more in such hosting method.
I tried heroku but its policy changed so the current way I forked on GitHub wouldn't be available soon. I cancelled bluehost subscription cause I believe it's not gonna be suitable for future deployment with dynamic website.
I've seen aws but its services are too many that I have no where to start with.
I'm so confused with all hosting options and iaas paas saas even tho I tired to read articles to understand them. Plus information online is like crazy a lot so that I have no idea which should I start with.
I am fine with paid service,
Could anyone share some experience with me?
If you are just getting started with web hosting you should use firebase hosting (You can't host Wordpress sites in firebase). It is completely free for hosting and also has a free database. You can deploy react.js apps or basic html,css,js websites in firebase. If you are using next.js you can check out Vercel. After exploring all of these you should try to get into the fun stuff such as Hostinger, WP Engine, DigitalOcean which support wordpress, static sites and dynamic sites.
I am not an experienced engineer like you are, but I have used these and trust me they are worth it. I hope this answer helps you
Since the node v10 changes to Cloud Functions, one thing that we've come to accept is a default storage bundle within our GCP of which accrues a cost of ~$0.03 a month. It is believed to be Docker cache files that store the Cloud Functions, Node Modules, and Hosting Revisions.
But on an almost empty project, how can you have 535MB in storage when the source is only 83MB total?
no hosting
2 cloud functions
What are the contents of the Files? is it overhead for the revision history? is there any reasonable way to minimize it? I get asked these questions many times and I do not have an answer that I feel comfortable with.
It's the entire container image, so I imagine it contains lot of things that you don't deploy yourself - like the operating system the code runs on, and the runtime of the language you use (Node.js if you're using Firebase to deploy).
I have deployed my site with Firebase using my customed domain.
I checked my db usage and it seems fine (couple of megas) but then I go the hosting section and then the usage tab and see almost 1GB downloads, do you know what do the downloads in the hostage section mean?
It means that almost 1GB of data was downloaded from Firebase Hosting in your project.
If this is higher than you expected, you might want to check for the size of your files. Do you have any images? How big are those? How much data will each client read from Firebase Hosting? How many clients do you have? If you have a few large files that everyone loads, it adds up quickly.
I just setup a Firebase Hosting and deployed it.
My question is, can I use this hosting as a cdn to load content on my other already published site?
Is this a good practice?
Also, is there a limit on firebase hosting requests?
If for e.g. there are too many requests to a particular file type, does it still work or will it throw any error?
Firebase hosting is advertised by Google as edge optimized SSD storage in their CDN infrastructure. Google's documentation suggests that this is a supported use case.
If you are already using firebase, that should work for you. Implement, measure. Keep measuring as traffic volume and patterns change.
If it isn't meeting your needs, move to a different CDN solution.
I am new to web development and have been building my websites in Visual Studio. I have built a database which is stored in App_Data folder. The database is open(no password) but when the website will be ready and when I will publish it onto a server then what will happen to the databases. How will I add the password. Will it remain stored inside the project or can I move it to the hosting server's database folder's. I maybe be asking silly questions but they are bothering me.
*Please bear with me, I am dyslexic and have problems doing normal things.
No questions are silly everyone on this site was a beginner once and I’m sure they have all in the same boat.
When it comes to deploying a database each hosting company will be set up differently and most likely each hosting plan at that company will be different. My hosting company helped me out the first time and it was actually much easier than getting my first database to work on my own computer, but a lot more time consuming.
I’m guessing you are using SQL Server Express locally, if so you will probably find your hosting company, sorry I’ve said (Hosting Company) a lot in this spiel, doesn’t support Express. This will mean you will have to go with its big brother, but most plans will have at least one available on the cheapest plan.
All that said, your database will most likely not go in you App_Data folder, I suggest contacting you hosting company and ask them about the process. One thing to keep in mind though is make sure you like you hosting company and they are not going to go away, because once you go through the process of setting it all up and getting your data into it, you want to ever have to move it!!!
So time consuming and pleasantly easy,
Cheers,
Mike.
