Legacy SVN hosting path

For teams moving away from CollabNet or self-hosted SVN

Replace old SVN server maintenance

Move day-to-day hosting away from CollabNet Subversion Edge, TeamForge SVN, CloudForge, Apache/SVN or older internal servers.

Keep standard SVN workflows

Hosted repositories work with TortoiseSVN, svn CLI, IDE integrations, build systems and existing SVN client workflows.

Start small, ask for help when needed

Book a regular SVN hosting package first. Migration assistance is available if repositories, users, permissions or LDAP/AD need review.

VCSAdmin repository browser with group permissions dialog
VCSAdmin: repository, user and permission management without server access.

Managed SVN hosting benefits

Manage SVN repositories in your browser

VCSAdmin keeps day-to-day repository administration out of the server console. Create SVN and Git repositories, manage users and groups, assign permissions, view projects, and enable hooks where they are included in your plan.

In VCSAdmin you can:

  1. Create a repository
  2. Add users or groups
  3. Assign permissions
  4. Connect with TortoiseSVN, svn CLI or your IDE
  5. Start committing
  • SSL/TLS, daily backups and German data centers
  • Personal access tokens and optional 2FA for administration
  • Optional LDAP / Active Directory integration for business setups
  • Support from SVN engineers

Migration assistance

SVN migration assistance from 250 €

Moving away from an old CollabNet, Subversion Edge, TeamForge SVN, CloudForge or self-hosted SVN server can be done step by step. We can first test the migration, verify repository history, branches and tags, and only then switch your team to the new SVN URL.

Simple SVN repository migrations start from 250 €. Larger migrations with multiple repositories, LDAP/Active Directory, custom permissions, hooks or very large repositories are reviewed individually.

1. Review your current SVN setup

We check where your repositories are hosted today, how large they are and whether users, permissions, hooks or LDAP/AD need to be migrated.

2. Choose the safest migration method

Depending on your setup, we use a repository dump, svnsync or another suitable approach.

3. Create a test import

We import the repository into SVN-Hoster first, so history, branches and tags can be checked before production use.

4. Configure access

Users, groups and permissions are configured in VCSAdmin. LDAP/Active Directory requirements can be reviewed if needed.

5. Switch your team to the new SVN URL

After testing, your team updates the repository URL in TortoiseSVN, svn CLI, IDEs or build systems.

6. Continue with managed hosting

SVN-Hoster operates the hosting environment with SSL/TLS, backups, browser-based administration and support.

Test first, switch later

Your existing SVN server can stay in place while we prepare and test the hosted repository. Your team only switches to the new SVN URL after the test import has been verified.

You do not have to move everything at once. A test migration can be performed first, so your team can validate the hosted repository before changing production workflows.

Subversion FAQ Illustration

Questions before you start?

SVN hosting FAQ

  • Are you affiliated with CollabNet, Digital.ai or TeamForge?

    No. SVN-Hoster is an independent SVN hosting provider. Product names are used only to describe migration scenarios.

  • How much does SVN migration assistance cost?

    Simple SVN repository migrations start from 250 €. More complex migrations with multiple repositories, LDAP/Active Directory, custom permissions, hooks or very large repositories are quoted individually.

  • Can we test the migration before switching?

    Yes. A test import can be performed first, so you can verify repository history, branches, tags and access before your team switches to the new SVN URL.

  • Will our existing SVN clients still work?

    Yes. Your team can continue using standard SVN clients such as TortoiseSVN, svn CLI, IDE integrations and build systems.

  • What do you need from us for the migration?

    For simple migrations, a repository dump or suitable access to the existing SVN repository may be enough. For more complex setups, we may need information about users, permissions, hooks, LDAP/Active Directory and repository size.

  • Do I need a migration project before ordering SVN hosting?

    No. You can start with a regular SVN hosting package. If you need help moving repositories, users, permissions, hooks or LDAP/AD setups, migration assistance is available on request.

  • Can I start with a small plan and migrate later?

    Yes. You can start with a regular SVN hosting package and upgrade later if you need more storage, users or migration assistance. This is often the easiest way to test SVN-Hoster before moving larger repositories.

  • Can repository history be preserved?

    Yes, SVN migrations are usually planned to preserve repository history. The best method depends on the current server, repository size and access options.

  • Can LDAP or Active Directory be used?

    LDAP and Active Directory integration can be evaluated for business setups.

  • Can larger repositories be hosted?

    Yes. Larger repositories and custom storage requirements can be reviewed individually.

  • Do I need a credit card for the trial?

    No. No credit card. No payment details. No automatic payment. You can create the 7-day trial with your email address.

  • What happens after the 7-day trial?

    After 7 days, the free trial ends. You will not be charged automatically. If you do nothing, the trial ends without automatic payment. To continue, activate a paid plan using the invoice and payment link we email you.
