Can anyone recommend hosts other than github ( 100% git ), codesion and beanstalk which support both svn and git? ( I want to compare every host under the sun, I don't have beef with github/codesion/beanstalk )

Preferably looking for something that has unlimited repositories and looking for plans with 100-200 gb of size per plan. I'll probably have two accounts.

My current CVS repository is around 80 gigs, which I'll convert to either svn or git in the coming weeks.

EDIT: I'm not looking for free hosting. I'm looking for premium, $xxx/month hosting.

What is your problem with Codesion and Beanstalk? It's difficult to tell what you're looking for if you discount hosting providers unnecessarily. – user8 Oct 28 '10 at 23:52
I don't have any quarrel with Codesion or Beanstalk. I simply want to compare each and every host under the sun. – meder Oct 28 '10 at 23:55
Why don't you just lease your own server from hosting company and build your own? – JeffO May 26 '11 at 11:17

Github is not 100% git and it supports SVN running over the Git repositories. It basically fakes a SVN server.

I think your best bet would be to buy a dedicated server and set it up yourself. It would probably work out cheaper too.

ProjectLocker fits the bill. I have been using them for years, and their service is really excellent.

Can you please show me a path to follow from their homepage to log in? Of course I've bookmarked portal.projectlocker and it's not really an issue with their actual services, but a hosted solution where you have to look for the login page? They should start reading ux.se asap. I do second that their core services are excellent, but their approach to looks and ux is terrible. – Yannis Rizos♦ May 26 '11 at 11:04

I'm assuming you want free code hosting, with unlimited private repositories and unlimited disk space.

The only one I know that offers all these features is bitbucket (after they were acquired by atlassian), but they use mercurial instead of git/svn.

IMHO, this is not a big deal since you have a lot of features and just one disadvantage (mercurial), that I don't even consider it a disadvantage at all (In fact, I'm just considering a disadvantage because you asked specifically for git/svn).

Nah, not free hosting. Willing to pay premium. I've considered hg/mercurial but it simply just isn't as popular as git/svn. And git is supposedly faster and a little better in certain aspects, so they're pretty much equal except for git being more popular = more accessible. – meder Oct 29 '10 at 1:11
@meder: I'm using a Bitbucket account in a Linux and Windows box. Mercurial has a great GUI client, TortoiseHg (I'm not so fan of GUI tools, but sometimes in a team it's needed for non-techie people), and it's working flawlessly. Hg is a DVCS so it shares distributed concepts like git, so no big deal at least in my case. If you're looking into private repositories, it's a good approach IMHO. (Are you afraid of mercurial becoming/already being a second class citizen in SCM world, so you would need to convert your 80gb repository again sometime in the future?) – GmonC Nov 1 '10 at 20:16

Codespaces supports git and svn repos.

Switched from projectlocker to codespaces a couple of months ago myself.
