My suggestion is to get Dreamhost (500GB, 5TB transfer) and buy this for a 2-year time. Enter the promo code "5050" to get $50 bucks off, making this a $150 for 2 years hosting plan that runs svn and you'll never run out of diskspace.

DON'T use Dreamhost.

I once had my SVN with them; you have no control over availability - and availability wasn't good, in my experience.

For all of my projects, I have an assembla account ( http://www.assembla.com ) with SVN access. I don't know the privacy/crypto details, so if you're storing private/sensitive data I can't help you with any details there - I'm doing open source stuff and couldn't care less who sees my code. Your situation might be different!

We have both public and private accounts with assembla - they're great.

We used to use their entire package (bug reporting, trac, etc.) but now we're only using them for SVN and use locally-deployed software to manage the rest of the toolchain (mostly Atlassian software such as Jira, Confluence, Crucible, and Fisheye)

Do you require privacy/crypto?

yes

github. has varible size cheap pay for accounts. if it's open source the account is free, but if you can't make your code public you have to pay for it.

+1 for Assembla. Excellent and free. Can't get better than that.

I use http://duplicity.nongnu.org/ to backup to Amazon S3 (it has support for various other backends). It encrypts with GnuPG. S3 charges a few cents per GB of transfer and a few cents per GB of storage per month.

We use Beanstalk for hosted Subversion. They've been pretty good so far. And have super integration to Campfire and FogBugz, etc.

My start-up has had an absolutely terrific experience so far with cvsdude.com. If you want a subversion/trac/bugzilla package, the pricing is reasonable and their customer service has been great. Also, if you want to host an open source project, they have free options.

I highly recommend it.
