SVN Hosting

I use SVN every day. I love it. Merge conflicts are about the worst you have to deal with and the rest of what SVN offers it just great. In my last post you'll see I moved from Vista to Windows 7. Was I worried about my projects data being lost during the move? No not at all, all my code is checked into SVN. I work for a company that has developers in Australia and the USA and without SVN coding on a shared DEV server would be painful. Internally we host our own SVN repositories which has served us well so far.
On the side I am always playing with some idea or another and generally that code I do not check into SVN. I do have my own personal server back at my parents house running on an old P3 with a 2nd had UPS running debian. The code there is probably 6+ months old and due to the recent power outages the UPS ran flat and the server is still turned off. Time for a move.
While conversing with Steve Good I was given a link to XP Dev. I signed up I like what I see lots of nice features including SSL, Web svn browser, private repositories, email alerts on commit and a mini project tracker.
I like it and I hope you will too.

BTW my SVN Client of choise Smart SVN. Cross platform ( Mac/*nix/Windows )

If you would consider a pro service I would suggest beanstalkapp.com for SVN hosting. We are hosting all our projects without any problem and with lots of features such as autodeploy features etc.

IMHO. :)

I'm really digging XP-Dev for my personal (And for now work) repos. I had been using Assembla right up until they made my private repos public. I'll also second Paul's choice of SmartSVN, it's a great SVN client.

@Oğuz thanks for the link will take a look. We have also looked at CVSDude aswell. For my private work I think I'll stay with xp-dev.com for now though.

@Roopinder No problem. ( It's Paul BTW ) however Steve passed on your details. Great service.

OMG - I need a slap on the face! Paul - extremely sorry for mixing names up. It was really early in the morning, and I just picked the first name above the comment box, and it was "Steve"

Again, I'm so sorry
