I saw the light and switched from SourceSafe in 2006 to Subversion. Since it's so cheap and to benefit for off-site storage, I have paid for SVN hosting. I recently changed hosts to ProjectLocker and couldn't believe how smooth the transition was. At my prior host, in addition to hosting my subversion repository, I had a trac project. Trac is really cool! I downloaded dumps of my svn and trac databases and uploaded them to my new host. Bingo-bango I'm online at a new URL but everything is the same! ProjectLocker appears to be pretty solid and so far support has been good. I've used Team Foundation Server for about a year and wasn't happy with that. I'm thrilled with subversion and look forward to filling up my repo with some great code.
Some tools I recommend are VisualSVN if you like integration with visual studio. It's cheap and gives you VSS/TFS like support. I also use TortoiseSVN to manage my repository. If you're interested in using Subversion, check out this link or this link.
