I’m embarking on a little skunkworks project with someone. We need some sort of project hosting so we can share source code. My first thought was to things like Google Code’s project hosting, but that and many others require the project to be public and open source, or at least, must be public and open source if you want free hosting. Again, this is a skunkworks gig so, we need it to be private and we have no funding so free is the only thing we can do.
Within a couple hits in Google, I found this excellent website: Subversion Hosting Comparison. The last update was months ago, but it still seemed relevant enough. A few clicks to configure my requirements and I settled upon Assembla.
How nice!

Hi John, Is there a reason you didn’t just use your current hosting service? That’s what I did about a year ago. I just created a subdomain of https://svn.myhost.com pointing to a subfolder on my hosting service and than I set the appropriate Apache permissions so only I could access it. Obviously your hosting service needs to support ssh, but it was a pretty cool setup.
However, Assembla definitely offers more features than straight svn, so I could see why you’d want to go for a service.
For this project, I wanted to have it hosted elsewhere. And yes, while the free assembla stuff is limited (natch), if this got big enough that we wanted stuff like bug tracking and so on, that could be do-able without me having to deal with all the admin stuff.
I used to want to have all sorts of servers and host everything myself for all the control and jurisdiction. But now, it’s just too much headache to admin things… happy to let others do it. 🙂
