So, after a while of researching what SVN system should I use, I end up creating a project in Google Code.. thing is, that ANYONE can habe access to my repository, and is NOT what I want :)

So, I'm looking for a "private Google Code" code hosting web.

I found out that Bitbucket and Assembla are good, but.. any opinions?

Thx!

If you want a private SVN repository, you'll most likely need to pay (at least a little) for the service.

There are many commercial SVN hosts - most do a fairly good job. I've personally had very good luck with wush.net, which is inexpensive and allows you to setup encrypted only access to SVN (and Trac, if desired), restricted to specific users.

Beanstalk offers a limited free account:

We also offer a FREE account with 3 users, 1 private repository (Git or SVN) and 100 MB of space.

Thx for the comments ppl, I'm using Bitbucket and so far so good, and it uses Mercurial also, so, +1.

Keep in mind, BitBucket utilizes Mercurial for Source Control, NOT Subversion. Granted, Mercurial might be a nice step up to use and learn, but that's a discussion for another answer. Also, BitBucket will limit you to one, free, private repository.

I've used Assembla in the past and they've been okay, nothing particularly special.

There is also the option of running your own Subversion server, which can be extremely easy on Windows by using VisualSVN Server. Sign up for a dynamic-dns account, and you can easily point a hostname back to your home computer.

Lastly, I just noticed, but my Dreamhost hosting account comes with the ability to create Subversion repositories, and it's pretty cheap and comes with a domain name.

The problem with VisualSVN is that VisualSVN Client is not a standalone installation, it needs to be installed over Visual Studio, and.. I'm using Flex (Actionscript)

You don't need to use the VisualSVN Client with the Server part, it's just available if you want it. I'm more of a TortoiseSVN guy anyway.

You can try with Assembla, they offer Free SVN hosting also for private projects
