I'm going to be working with a few outside developers on some projects of mine and want to host the project files and version control on a hosted solution. It's not going to get a lot of traffic but it does need to be fast.
What's the best way to go? Dedicated, colo, or shared hosted? I'd like to keep cost down but the priority is on stablity.
I use linode (c.f. www.linode.com), it is a xen (shared virtual machine) machine running on some nice hardware. It has a wide selection of linux distributions to choose from and the freedom to install whatever you want for about $20 a month.
Be careful with VPS's that actually require you to fax a copy of your photo ID in order to allow ssh access to your host.
I'm not sure whether this is what you're after, but Beanstalk offer free/paid Subversion hosting. Their free plan is limited to 20 MB, 3 users, and 1 repository.
Depending on your VCS of choice, you might want to look at ShareSource , which offers SVN and Mercurial hosting for free (soon Git).
Disclamer: I am an admin there, so I'm obviously biased :)
I work at ProjectLocker, and we offer Subversion hosting and Git hosting, as well as Trac hosting, for free for up to 5 users/500 MB. Larger plans are available at low cost. In general, I'd recommend going for a hosted offering over a shared or dedicated web host. Any hosted offering worth their salt will be taking care of disaster recovery and make configuration easy enough to not need shell access.
You can check InDefero, as said by the guy working at ProjectLocker, a dedicated offer is often the best way to go as they are taking care of all the backups etc. InDefero is providing a free offer and a 1GB unlimited projects $30/year offer. The software is available (GPL) if you want to go with your own installation. Note, I am the lead developer of InDefero.
