GitHost seems incredibly expensive. For $150/mo for their most basic plan I could easily rent a basic dedicated server or VPS from for $10-40/mo. In my experience this takes about a 1 day investment up front then 1 hour/mo (basically just update the box or replace a failing drive once in a while) to maintain indefinitely if you keep it behind LAN/VPN. It's a fairly small time investment with a big reward for security, privacy and stability in my experience. Then you have control of backups too, which seems like a pretty good thing to me given the recent GitLab fiasco.
