We have Bitbucket on our own servers, and we're moving it back to either Atlassian's hosting or to Github. The reason being that we spend far too much time per month hand holding the server when it goes mental and takes all of the RAM and then decides not to server any pages. And it's not for a lack of resources on the server either, 16Gb RAM and 4 core virtual machine, running Linux. So we have more downtime than either Github and Bitbucket combined.

Any guesses why that happens? It's weird that a git server goes mental just to serve a repo. We had gitlab on my previous job and git server on my preprevious job and never ever had server down problems. This period is like 5 years total.
