CLIENT WEBSITE HANDOVER & FREE FIREBASE SELF-HOSTING GUIDE
Congratulations on taking full ownership of your Portal One Business Solutions website! Your website is built with clean, zero-bloat HTML/CSS/JS and embedded Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) schema. Follow the 4 simple steps below to host your website for $0/month on your own Google Firebase Spark (Free) account and connect your custom domain.
STEP 01 // Create Your Free Google Firebase Project
5 MINUTES- Sign in at console.firebase.google.com using your business Google account.
- Click "Create a project", enter your business name, and complete the setup (Google Analytics is optional).
- Your project defaults to the Spark Plan ($0/month free tier), which includes 10 GB storage, global CDN speed, and automatic SSL security.
STEP 02 // Accept Direct Transfer or Deploy Your Handover Folder
5 MINUTESChoose the handover method that works best for you:
- Fastest Method (1-Click Project Transfer): Share your Google email with Portal One Business Solutions. We add you as the Owner in Firebase Project Settings → Users and Permissions, and remove our agency access once you accept.
- ZIP Archive Deployment: Unzip your website handover folder on your computer, open Terminal in that folder, and run
npx firebase-tools loginfollowed bynpx firebase-tools deploy --only hosting.
STEP 03 // Connect Your Custom Domain Name & Free SSL
10 MINUTES- In the Firebase Console left sidebar, go to Build → Hosting and click "Add custom domain".
- Enter your domain name (e.g.,
yourbusiness.com). - Copy the TXT and A record values shown by Firebase and paste them into the DNS settings of your domain registrar (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, or Squarespace).
