I know there are a number of threads recommending xp-dev.com, but I'm wondering if anyone has had any reason not to recommend the service?

I have used xp-dev for a few months now and have no complaints so far.

I've just started using xp-dev 1 month or so before and has gone down once before for about 2-3 days and is down right now!

I just signed up with them a few weeks ago, and now today the service is down. This is unacceptable for me. I can understand, but not be happy about occasional blips, but so far it has been down all morning which is more than a blip. no service, nor work gets done. I am halfway tempted to go back to racking my own servers in a datacenter. It never pays to try and save money.
And it's not just the service, the entire website is down, which means I can't even get their phone number to call them (I am a paying customer, not just using the free service).

Yeah, and there are no notifications anywhere. The svn web interface seems to be working, though, but that's all.

@talonx: Bit of an old thread, but I use xp-dev all the time and find its great most of the time. Only downside is the occassional down-time, would be nice if they sent an email around or some form of notification. However, I have noticed now that they tend to post it on twitter (http://twitter.com/xpdev) if they intend to carry out any maintenance.

It has gone down previously and it is down now(right when I need to commit). You might be better going elsewhere. Me and my team have had better luck with a company called BeanstalkApp and with Google Code.
