online private source control system

I am looking for a private online source control system. Basically what I want is a private version of Google Code or SourceForge. Private in the sense that only me and the person I invite can view the source code. The source code in the source control should not be exposed to search engines or other people without the proper viewing rights.

I prefer to hold the source code on other servers, not on my machine. I don't want to handle all the database maintenance and backup and things like that. In exchange for this I don't mind to pay a monthly access fee for this.

Any ideas?

I know this question has been posted a while ago. But, how about this:

If you're developing from a Windows machine, download the Google Drive client and sync your Google Driver folders on your local machine. Within those synced folders, create one called repository or something.

Then using git, you create a bare repository in that folder. Or in Bazaar, a repository with no-trees. This will create a repository that will not contain the actual working files, but just keep the revision history. This has the advantage of saving disk space as well as letting you pull and push from/to it like a centralized repo.

And since it is within your Google Drive synchronized folders, it will be backed up on Google drive and synced. And you can allow access to your folders using email addresses.

A friend of mine recently told me about bitbucket by ATLASSIAN

This is a great one, including their free plan version.

Atlassian's BitBucket just announced Git repositories last week. Bit bucket allows unlimited private repositories for free. You need to pay if you want more than 5 users.
