Intelligence
The domain is owned and operated by Google LLC and has been registered for over 13 years. Our analysis confirms it is the legitimate infrastructure for Firebase, a major app development platform. Technical signals are overwhelmingly positive, including a top-tier global traffic rank and clean results from over 90 antivirus engines. However, because Firebase allows users to host content for free, subdomains like 'project-name.firebaseapp.com' are often used by criminals to host fake login pages. The root domain itself is safe, but users should always verify the specific subdomain before entering any sensitive information.

What to do
Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on firebaseapp.com and not a lookalike like f-irebaseapp.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.
- OpenDiscuss this site on the forum
If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.
Final Verdict
This is the official landing page for Google's Firebase Hosting service. While the platform is legitimate, scammers frequently abuse its free subdomains to host phishing pages.
Safety FAQ
Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.
- Our automated security review found no threat indicators on firebaseapp.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
- firebaseapp.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 90/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
- Yes. firebaseapp.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WR4, expiring in 43 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
- firebaseapp.com is 13.7 years old, registered on 10/15/2012 through MarkMonitor Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
- No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report firebaseapp.com as clean.
- No. firebaseapp.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
- firebaseapp.com resolves to an IP operated by Google LLC in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
- Yes. firebaseapp.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
