Why I've built an alternative to Github

I still use SVN for a lot of my own personal projects (don't judge me!) and sure I could setup my own SVN server no problem. But I pay a small fee ($50 a year I think.. or maybe $50/6-mos) for SVN hosting.

Same situation: I want private repo's. Past that, the only other thing I really want is not to have to worry about ANYTHING. It needs to be secure, backed-up, and quick, without me ever having to give it a 2nd thought.

For that, I'm happy to pay this small fee.

Why spend money with things like Bit Bucket around? It's a mercurial repo with free private hosting for up to 5 users.

Presumably, he doesn't want to use Mercurial.
