This is a list of Project hosting options, and what the options and benefits of each are.

Public

Github

Most common git-based hosting solution. Most major linux-related open source projects which do not want to support their own hosting use github.

Gnu Savanah

Sourceforge

Generally not recommended, because of deceptive and malicious practices in distributing installers for software they hosted. Since change of ownership, they seem to be cleaning up their act.

Google Code

Deprecated

DARCShub

Uses darcs, rather than git or SVN for project management.

Gitlab

Free private Repositories; Git-based

Launchpad

Project-centric rather than user-centric. Used by Ubuntu for PPAs.

Self-hosted

Gitolite

GOGS

Gitweb
