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.
