Host private Git repositories on your own Cloud VPS with Gitea, GitLab CE, or Gogs. Complete code ownership, built-in CI/CD, issue tracking, and unlimited private repos — no GitHub or GitLab subscription required.
GitHub Teams costs $4/user/mo, GitLab starts at $29/mo, and Bitbucket charges per user. A self-hosted Git server on a VPS gives you unlimited private repositories, unlimited users, and complete code ownership for a flat $5/mo.
GitHub Pro charges $4/mo, GitHub Teams $4/user/mo. Gitea on a $5/mo VPS gives you unlimited private repositories for unlimited users at a single flat cost — no per-user or per-repo fees.
Your code never leaves your infrastructure. Critical for organizations with compliance requirements, proprietary code, or client confidentiality obligations that prevent hosting on third-party platforms.
Gitea Actions (GitHub Actions-compatible) and GitLab CI/CD provide built-in pipeline automation. Run CI/CD on your own hardware — no per-minute billing for build minutes like GitHub Actions paid tiers.
Create and manage user accounts, organizations, teams, and access permissions. LDAP/Active Directory integration for enterprise SSO. Full admin control over user management and access policies.
The optimal software stack pre-configured for this use case on a Host4Fun Cloud VPS.

Everything that makes Host4Fun Cloud VPS the ideal infrastructure for your use case.
Gitea provides repository management, issue tracking, pull requests, code review, wiki, releases, and Gitea Actions CI/CD — using under 150 MB RAM. Run a complete GitHub-like platform on the Starter plan.
Gitea Actions uses the same YAML syntax as GitHub Actions. Migrate GitHub Actions workflows to your self-hosted Gitea instance without rewriting pipelines. Run CI builds on your own VPS hardware.
Push and pull repositories via SSH on port 22 (or custom port). SSH keys managed directly in Gitea user settings. Familiar git push/pull workflow identical to GitHub and GitLab.
Mirror repositories from GitHub, GitLab, or any Git remote automatically. Keep a local backup of critical open-source dependencies or client code that must not be lost if third-party platforms go down.
Create organizations and teams with fine-grained repository access permissions. Manage developers, contractors, and client access separately — LDAP integration available for enterprise SSO.
Git operations (clone, fetch, push) are I/O intensive — reading and writing pack files from disk. NVMe SSD makes large repository operations significantly faster than SATA storage.

Real use cases from developers, agencies, and businesses running on Host4Fun Cloud VPS.
Host proprietary code, client projects, and internal tools on your own infrastructure. No third-party platform ever has access to your source code — critical for NDAs, IP protection, and compliance requirements.
Agencies managing code for multiple clients keep each client's repositories isolated on a self-hosted Gitea instance. One VPS for unlimited client repos at a flat $5/mo.
Run Gitea Actions or GitLab CI/CD pipelines on your own VPS hardware. No per-minute billing for CI builds — run as many pipeline jobs as your VPS resources allow.
Mirror critical public repositories to your own VPS for offline access and dependency security. If GitHub goes down or a package is removed, your mirror keeps builds running.
Give your development team a self-hosted Git platform with issue tracking, pull requests, and code review. Gitea provides a GitHub-like experience without per-seat pricing.
Learning Git server administration (SSH keys, hooks, permissions, CI/CD configuration) requires a real Git server. A $5/mo VPS with Gitea is the ideal hands-on learning environment.
All plans include AMD Ryzen CPU, DDR5 RAM, NVMe SSD, 10 Gbps, DDoS protection, and dedicated IPv4.
Annual billing charged as one payment. Prices exclude taxes.
Private repos. Built-in CI/CD. Unlimited users. Gitea on AMD Ryzen + NVMe SSD. From $5/mo — no per-seat fees.
