SVN Hosting

Does it really have to be SVN? If not try looking at GitHub (github.com) they have free and paid plans (from $7 to 200$ a month) and it has better features than SVN.

won't dropbox do if it's just a personal project?

even then you could share the project between yourselves. i am only saying this because it's less bothersome than setting up an svn server and cheaper than buying svn hosting.

Dropbox doesn't have a versioning system (as far as I know), so it's not useful for projects really. One person replaces one file and the whole project goes to hell.

Incorrect, it does have file history/versioning.

http://www.assembla.com gives you SVN and also a wiki and some other tools. Not sure how much space you'll need but the only reason I stopped using it was because it went from free to cheap to expensive as our version history got bloated.

I've just set it up on my home machine that i always have on. (we use SVN for our projects) You can have your project there too if you want. Just pm me on skype and i'll set it up for you. (skjalgsm)

The server is in norway with 30/30 fiber connected to it so speed shouldn't be an issue. the svn files are on a dedicated SSD as well that I dont use for anything but the svn server.

There is one drawback tho, you'll have to install hamachi as well because I'm behind a firewall that i cant figure out how to turn off, but hamachi circumvents it somehow. I guess I should look into the firewall issue again tho... Might have a look at that this weekend.

I second github.

I chose SVN mostly because im already familiar with it and it's fairly user friendly. I've not heard of GitHub before but I'll certainly take a look at it, thanks!

GitHub is even more user friendly (of course it still has a bit of a learning curve) and it's faster than SVN. You can read more about it at these links:

Please also note that GitHub is just one of the solutions available for working with Git, SourceForge for example also uses Git, but GitHub is the one used the most.

Besides that all the cool kids (like jquery, mootools, ruby on rails, node.js, linux, django, yui, sinatra, mongodb, facebook, apache, mozilla, twitter, phpbb, google, etc) use Git these days

We use Codesion for Ham and Jam, they gave us some hefty discounts in return for an image on home page.

I have been in the same situation as you, I was looking for a SVN hoster for an udk projet.

I was thinking about using Git for a moment, but then I discovered that Git don't have any 'Lock File' function. This seemed to be a major problem for us, since we will with lots of binary files, udk packages, etc, which cannot be merged. If there will be several people working on the same files, this can become difficult to manage, no ?

In the end we found a friend that could host the svn for us, so we went for it. But I found this host which looks interesting: http://repositoryhosting.com/ (unlimited users and repositories, and the price looked acceptable: 8$/mo for 2GB and then +1$/mo for every additional Go used), but I did not try it out.

Okay got the firewall away. Just let me know if anyone needs hosting. I can provide
