bitbucket.org is nice, and you can have private repositories on a free account.

Set up a GitLab[^] server. I have one set up for my personal projects, and one for my research group at University of Maryland. There are regular updates (monthly releases), it has almost all the features of GitHub, and it's really easy to set up. You can also choose whether repositories should be public or private. Finally, the developers are very receptive to bug reports and pretty receptive to feature ideas, especially if you submit pull requests for the fix or the feature.
All you need is a machine (or VM) to run it on (Ubuntu/Debian recommended).
Some install notes:
- If you use their recommended configuration, you will be much less likely to have problems later, and, if you do, they will be much easier to diagnose.
- Install Ruby 2.0 from source by hand. Don't use RVM (or any other managed Ruby install). The instructions for doing so are in the install documentation.
- You will need a newer version of Git than the one provided by Ubuntu. You can use this one[^]
- You can keep the repository storage used by Gitlab on a NAS or on a RAID volume. However, it is unnecessary to keep the "satellites" (the working copies that are shown when you browse the web site) on the NAS. The network access times for the files on a NAS will slow down the web page loads considerably. (This is technically true about the actual repositories themselves too, but you'd rather have them on the most dependable storage.)
- Get an SSL certificate for the server. You can probably get away with a free one from StartSSL. Don't use a self-signed one if you plan to use Git over HTTPS (as opposed to Git over SSH), or you will have to tell your Git client(s) to ignore the certificate verification (git config http.sslVerify false or GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true).

I set up a local repository using CVS.. not because it's better, just because it's what I know how to use, and how to administer, including backup, repository repair, even worst-case file recovery.
I prefer local repositories because the Internet quits working occasionally, and I don't want to stop and twiddle my thumbs until someone else gets around to fixing the problem.
For off-site backups of the repository, I use a DVD in my safe deposit box, but that was before cloud storage. If I went with cloud storage, I'd probably push self-encrypted backup files to it so nobody at the cloud service (or government) can easily snoop on my data.. not that I have anything nefarious in it, I'm just too much of a privacy nut.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

One of the guy(individual and not a company) got his sort of networking site developed via some development company. Now it's time to host the website. The company who developed his site suggested go for dedicated hosting and will cost over £600 to configure it + dedicated hosting charges.
But he is in doubt as dedicated hosting do cost a lost and mind that it's just a start up. so am wondering if it will be ok for him to go with shared hosting to start with for couple of months and build some user base, interaction and then move it to dedicated hosting.
I know pros and cos of shared and dedicated server but what will be best option as a start up.
Also how is this cloud hosting ? Any better than dedicated server?
Thanks

Cloud could work out best for a startup assuming you can work out the prices! (last time I looked at Azure it was so complex I gave up trying to work out how much I would be up for!)
In principal the great advantage for a startup is that you are paying for what you use - so no visitors and your bill stays lower!

I'd suggest starting with an entry level VPS. For $20-50ish you get a lot more control than with shared hosting; and can easily move to a bigger VPS/dedicated server in the future if needed. (Slacker option, install a hypervisor and have your migrated VM as the only one running on a dedicated box.)

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The main advantage of cloud hosting over traditional hosting is flexibility. Cloud also have dedicated / shared hosting plans. So if he is not sure how much and how fast he is going to grow, then cloud is the best option.
Shared Hosting at Windows Azure starts from ($10.00 + $10.00) / Month for Single Website with Database. and if you want Dedicated Hosting from Azure it will cost around $100.00 / Month and you can run as many as 100 Websites.
Amazon AWS also has similar pricing (Windows Azure and Amazon AWS both have almost same pricing). And if he has not used it before they will give $35.00/Month of Single extra small VM free for a year.
AWS is more mature than Azure. Also I have not tried it, but I have heard many good things about Heroku[^].

I have been running a LAMP server on the free tier AWS and have now converted to being a paying customer, still with an extra small server.
The three sites on it isn't terribly busy. The main site with Drupal installed gets approximately 3000 distinct visits doing +- 100 page / product views each. The other 2 have far lower traffic, although all 3 have more concentrated traffic over weekends.
I also run the emails for these domains from the same server, including spam filtering.
Before moving to this server, I was using shared hosting and it could just not keep up...
So I could definitely recommend AWS. I have no experience with Azure though.

If it was indeed one of Griff's exes, then I hope you gave her a REAL GOOD cleaning before popping her in the oven!

We did a half-leg o' sheep on Sunday, and I turned what was left into Rogan Josh on Monday. And I just finished vacuum sealing what was left of that for the freezer. Goes a fair way, half a leg!

The recipe looks slightly adjusted to me.
Swedish coffee isn't espresso, our coffee keeps you awake.
And the recipes I've seen/eaten had beef instead of lamb.
But it looks good still. Bon appetite.
Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!
