Question: Since a week I use *ToirtoiseSVN* and *AnkhSVN* and **GoogleCode** and **sourceforge.net** as my project hosting. For me it's frustrating to fill all this forms before create next project. So I start thinking about my own repository hosting.

Can I use simple file hosting etc. and install there software like use Google or SourceForge to have my own SVN Server? My point is to have independent repository in internet without all this uselessly UI interface which give me Google and SF to administrate my version control. I don't want to take advantage of already existing hosting services like GoogleCode etc. - I want to be independent from them! ;)

Or maybe it's other way to do **my own repository hosting** and **FREE** ;) Please don't tell me that I'm at mercy of commercial hosting... :/

Answer: 
[VisualSVN](http://www.visualsvn.com/server/download/) server is the easiest to get up and running
If you have your own server, then you can simply follow a tutorial for whatever os.

I have ubuntu server and followed this tutorial <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion>
