I read the original post as being about more than just git/blog hosting (from the post's point about once hosting email). If it is only about git/blog hosting, GitHub may be wonderful and fill the need perfectly (I haven't used it yet so I can't comment there).
And the point about VPSs is just as true. Things can go wrong with your own boxes hosted in your own space too.
All of these services are great as they allow small startups to get going with less upfront requirements (ex: setting up a physical machine and finding hosting space). It's still important to take consideration on whatever path you choose to avoid getting bitten hard at the worst possible time.
