Subversion Hosting

by Scott 16. April 2009 07:05

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.

Gotta agree with you - SVN and Trac is a pretty unbeatable combination! And with the low cost of commercial hosting these days its hardly worth the effort of setting up and managing your own server (and backing it up!).

FYI, a 100% free open-source alternative to VisualSVN for Visual Studio is AnkhSVN (http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net ). This is worth a try if you are on a tight budget. Also, if you are using Eclipse IDE there is the free Subclipse plugin (http://subclipse.tigris.org ).

Another affordable SVN, Trac and WebDAV hosting provider is ProjectHut (http://www.projecthut.com ). Here you get your own private and secure https subdomain that is backed up hourly with a web-control panel to easily create multiple SVN/Trac instances and manage access permissions, with no artificial restriction on the number of users.
