I'm investigating using hosted subversion for a new project at work and was wondering if anyone had any experiences they would share.

I've personally used Beanstalk for small projects at home, but not with mulitple users or a large repository.

What/who have you used?

For what size/type of project?

What was your experience? (Uptime, performance, customer service, etc.)

wush.net has been awesome - great support I use it for personal projects as well as two freelance projects (one with a few hundred thousand lines of code) None have large number of developers, but that should not be a problem

svnrepository is also good - but a lot less hand holding. I switched to wush only because I did not want to have to do so much of the admin - mostly for the trac stuff. They also had good support, but you are responsible for a lot more of the admin.

I have not experienced any downtime that I noticed. (either for svn or trac)

there are also other SO questions on this topic...
a search of svn and hosting should bring them up

Take a look at Unfuddle.... They have a free plan plus some other nice project management type functions.

I'm using DreamHost because I really didn't like the restrictions imposed by the "subversion-only" hosts, e.g. really small space or few repositories.

I want to be able to check in everything related to the build without having to think about the space limitation.

It's cheap ($10 a month) and practically unlimited disk space (and unlimited users and repositories). Haven't experienced any downtime so for but is sometimes a bit slow.

The only downside is that they have subversion v. 1.4.2 and I haven't had great success upgrading. But someone with a Linux experience would probably be able to do it in no time :)

If your project is open-source, you might want consider Google Code.

I've found it to be excellent!

I used wush.net for a while for small personal projects and never had any problems... service was reliable and speedy. I terminated my account there once I moved my web hosting to a provider that also supported svn.

I Agree with mikeymo Unfuddle is a great ticketing and subversion host. They have a free account that I have been using for almost a year now and is great. It takes so much work out of development, especially when dealing with tasks and related commits.

You can always deploy your own version control server with Subversion and VisualSVN Server in the cloud. You need a Windows-based virtual machine in MS Azure or AWS.

The installation procedure is very simple and you will get a powerful hosted version control server. See the Getting Started guide for installation instructions.
