Which DVCS for a one-man .NET shop?

Question

I'm the only developer working in a very small company. I currently use VisualSVN on Windows on my development machine as my VCS. This is problematic because I can't get to my projects outside the IT firewall, and my colleague can't integrate his content into my projects.

We (my PM, who develops content for me) are very interested in a hosted DVCS. My rough requirements would be:

• Projects can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection
• Projects can be protected
• Cost is cheap-or-free

What sort of services do you think would fit?

Answer 1

I use and love Codespaces.com. It's cheap and comes with a great project management dashboard.

Answer 2

If you want to stick with subversion, this site is useful: http://www.svnhostingcomparison.com/

Answer 3

Almost all DVCSs have some hosted services available that provide the features you are asking for:

• Git has GitHub, Unfuddle, Assembla, Codebase, ProjectLocker
• Mercurial has BitBucket
• darcs has Patch-Tag
