Bitbucket: It's like guthub, but for Mercurial.
They have a free, private plan. (I haven't personally tried this).

If you're just concerned about backing up private repositories then
you could always export and either email it to yourself or upload to
Google Docs. The export format is highly compressed (more so than the
Git export format) so unless you are tracking a lot of large binaries
this will be manageable for a reasonably large project.
If you are collaborating with another person then you can export
changesets at the end of the day and email them to each other. The
email functionality is built right into Git and Mercurial. This itself
if a form of backup.

Mercurial works great on Windows.
