While I'd understand this if the complaint was that gitorious is too complicated to setup and host, CodePlane doesn't seem to offer the rich web interface github and gitorious do. In the absence of that, how difficult is it to setup gitolite on a cheap VPS account? I mean, if you primarily use CLI interfaces anyway.

Need redundancy because those fly-by-night VPS providers disappear? Fine, pick up another VPS from lowendbox.com and rsync your git home directory. Done and done.

On a side note, you could consider all your repos on your primary machine your "backup," as with a relatively static IP from a cable or DSL account you can push and pull to your hearts delight from your home box. Not great for collab, but sometimes I feel like the D in DVCS gets forgotten about.
