Here’s the short list of what I was looking for:

  • Excellent network reliability
  • Excellent data reliability
  • At least 2 GB of space
  • At least 2 user accounts
  • FogBugz integration
  • Secure access to repository
  • Good price ($15 or less per month)

I was checking out the CVSDude.com, SVNRepository.com, Unfuddle.com, BeanstalkApp.com, CodeSpaces.com, Hosted-Projects.com, and Wush.net. Only three had 2GB/mo for $15 or less: CVSDude, SVNRepository, and Wush.net.

Out of those three options, only Wush.net and CVSDude allowed FogBugz integration. SVNRepository did not advertise FB integration on their site, so Brett emailed them, and they confirmed NO FB INTEGRATION. Too bad, too. They had a nice price.

So I had to choose between Wush.net and CVSDude. CVSDude has been around forever…since 2002. Wush.net has been around since 2004. CVSDude has over 45,000 projects hosted right now; I couldn’t see a project count on Wush.net. Both seem to a solid data security plan (RAID, nightly backups, etc).

In the end, poor reviews of CVSDude made the difference. I typed in “CVSDude” in my Firefox search window (Google search), and suggested search 3 and 4 was “CSVDude down” and “CVSDude problems”. Ruh-row.

I’m sure CVSDude has to deal with a lot of traffic…probably several times more than Wush.net. For now, however, we’ll use Wush.net, and maybe CVSDude will work through their scaling issues.

So Wush.net it is!

My first task here is to get a FogBugz On-Demand account setup. After that, I need to find us a good remote SVN host. We’re looking for something inexpensive and fast, with excellent uptime and a lot of storage space.

I’ll post the results of my search when I’m done. But first, I’m going with my family to Island Lake!
