While all this looks excellent, you still need to convince me why I should use this paid service instead of established, robust, free services like Savannah, SourceForge or Berlios.

Take a look at this: www.kodingen.com The service like kodingen is excellent, is free and provides a 'omg' IDE and interface.
So this is what i feel of your service: Advantages: - Domain name and ip address will cost 1500 or so, thus 600 bucks is cost saving there. - Issue tracking system is very advanced and supports a lot of features. - An active project backend of redmine, so quite robust, RoR speed, REST API availability etc.
Disadvantages: - as a corporate client (who will most likely pay for stuff like these) I would not want my source code to be on a 3rd party system. And independent developers would most likely not pay up for such service, students of all. - problem of editing and committing on repository is a problem, you have to do it from another place (terminal, some repo workbench or eclipse) (please tell me if your system has facility for committing from browser) This makes the service look useless at times and makes the process cumbersome. This has been a major roadblock for me in using redmine, it slows down the pace of work.
But still an awesome idea to commercialize it.

Many small enterprises and college students who wants an efficient project tracking tool, doesn't want to make their source code and project info public - atleast till the project ends. In our service people can make their projects as *private* and I think almost all free project hosting providers require the project details and info to be made public. This we see as a key differentiator among the dozens of free hosting provider available out there.
We will have all these queries answered in a FAQ section, which is to be added soon.

Corporate clients can have separate plans based on their requirements.
Our service is mainly targeted on small startup enterprises and students doing their college projects in groups. The plans are very cheap, as any student project will have some 3 persons and Rs.600/year is not at all a problem for them :)

do it from another place (terminal, some repo workbench or eclipse) (please tell me if your system has facility for committing from browser) This makes the service look useless at times and makes the process cumbersome.

We would consider adding this support.
