Saving different versions of files to floppy disks and writing a
label in a thick pen was good enough for us in 1986. Especially
when we re-used a floppy disk and scratched out the previous
version number and wrote a new one on top.
Fine until you need to revert to a previous version...

SparkleShare is a software, not a hosting service (even though it may
become also a hosting service, see sparkleshare.net).
You can put your git repository wherever you want: personal server,
github, bitbucket (which has unlimited free private repositories at the
moment).
I'm not familiar at all with SparkleShare. I started using it two days
ago to share some files with a person who uses Windows and knows nothing
about Git.
FWIW, I taught a couple of my students to "git pull" from here[1] and here[2]
in about 5 minutes. Lack of knowledge of git is a minor consideration. Especially if you
provide that user with a script to do this:
git stash save
git pull --rebase
git stash pop
