I’ve been a paid user of cvsdude.com for about 6 months now and the service is great and reliable.

I use it for both hosted Bugzilla and SVN.

I had 1 outage that lasted an hour over this perdio. I have teams across 3 continents checking code out and in around the clock and they are all cranking code happily. Most Bugzilla hosted solutions cost more for a team than CVSDude.
I’ve used my own hosted bugzila and SVN before on my own linux boxes and had more downtime and paid more in admin time to handle backups, uptime, migration, etc…

I highly recommend their service.

Been great to see all the comments, please note we have our new infrastructure released within weeks, it has been in beta for over 6 months and has over 100 commercial accounts and 1000’s of developers using it right now.
We have had overwhelmingly positive comments on it.

If you wish to try out our new service please submit a ticket to us via our website, we look forward to impressing you.

Thanks all
Jason

Assembla is *much* better.

Even better: Host SVN yourself. That is what we do next.

We are just in the process of moving to a larger plan with them and I’m looking forward to helping them grow as they help us grow.

I would give them a shot and come to your own conclusions. Sure there might be some growing pains but than happens with all companies.

We had a sustained outage a couple of weeks ago where our entire dev team was out of action for three days.

We’ve now been moved to the CVSDude beta platform which seems reliable and speedy, but I’m not sure I would outsource such a business critical function again – especially one that only needs an antique Linux box and a decent backup plan to match their three-nines reliability.

They are not perfect but they are pretty good. The times I needed to contact support went well. I’ve never had a serious issue yet.

I’ve seen CVSDude grow over the years from pretty much a one man shop to an actual company. I’m sure there were growing pains and there probably will be more from the sound of it. Moving to California?

As long as they keep their service offerings competitive (service and price wise) and keep my code safe I am comfortable hosting my source with them.

Git might be the future of DVCS but SVN is still strong and effective. Plus remember their name is CVSDude. They started with CVS and moved to SVN. I am sure they have discussed DVCS and would not be surprised if they started offering Git hosting sometime in the future when they have the capability to support it.

Unlike some of the older suppliers, we have only one plan and it costs $6 per month. This plan allows unlimited users, unlimited projects, unlimited trac instances, unlimited Subversion and Git repositories, SSL and more.

There is a 30 Day Free Trial so come and check us out.

Dror- You’re right- most admins can download SVN (and Trac & Bugz), patch & upgrade them, configure fine-grained permissions, back up to offsite servers or S3, integrate SVN with your in-house tools, provide in-house support, etc. If you’re doing this for yourself alone, it’s pretty easy– although we do have free plans . But maintaining >99.9% uptime is tougher, particularly as your organization scales. And you wouldn’t get access to purpose-built web GUI, expert support, 10-min backups, etc. etc.

Plus support on the forums is slow, and telephone support is completely non-existent. I’m waiting for a more competent company to come along and eat their lunch.

WTF??? Any CVS host does that.
