Here is the thing, I want a company to run my CI server, I am happy to pay for this service, yet private paid plans are still not available on Travis CI after a very long time. I know its always easy to say from the outside, but why are new features being added when they have not got a solid business model running? Donations are great but is this a business I can trust or an open source charity where people might get bored and give up in 18 months time?

They are running beta, and there are companies paying for the service. If you log into the Travis CI support Campfire, Josh may hook you up. He was very accommodating and is always looking for feedback.
Actually, the early beta is mentioned near the end of the blog post.

there are quite a few hosted commercial Jenkins providers. https://www.shiningpanda-ci.com/ etc.

Check out circleci.com. My company uses them -- it's incredibly simple, and works amazingly well.
