I use bitbucket for some personal things, and it is good; better than git
because it is free for private repo's. They'e had outages though, but
depending on what you do, it doesn't really matter, as long as they're
resolved in a few hours, which they have been.

Issue management: I (used to) use a locally-run jira instance. It's
super-cheap if you just buy a small license; something like $10.
