True. There is no denying that on-prem Gitlab has its uses. Maybe not for me, but I can respect that.

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.

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].
