As said in other threads above, we are aware of the shortcomings of GitLab.com, but working very hard to resolve these [0].
Setting up your own instance is not hard [1], but we're also offering managed hosted instances on GitHost.io nowadays.
If you're still in the middle, you could use the one-click deploy options from providers such as Digital Ocean, Cloud 66 and AWS images [2].

The point I was making in the original comment was that Gitlab has absolutely no options without heavy onboarding that is hosted as well as reliable. I wasn't really undercutting their on-prem, just pointing out that comparisons with Github are heavily misplaced.
