SVN hosting options
At work we still use CVS. We even have PVCS sitting on an old Tru64 machine actively used in one last project that hasn’t converted to CVS. I have looked at subversion/SVN and I use it for a few smaller projects. I host the repositories myself which is not the right option in every situation. And for some projects it would sometimes be better to host them somewhere else. This is especially true for many open source projects. Yesterday I found a good subversion hosting overview over at Snook.ca.
However, before I decided to host a software project somewhere else I would thoroughly investigate how easy it is to export the whole repository with version history intact.

i personally liked unfuddle.com – they support both svn and git. the free hosting options also supports 200 MB of spaces, but unfortunately for only a two mans team. but you can ofcourse pay for flexible team members.
goplan and assembla are two other good choice.

We use CVSDude. They do a pretty good job. Well enough that we decided to move on their beta project, which has a couple issues every now and then but they always resolve them pretty fast.
Sometimes their support people seem a bit out of it. But overall we had no major issues in almost two years now.
Do try out xp-dev.com as well. It offers 1.5GB of Subversion storage and do allow private projects as well.
