>> So, your motivation for wanting distributed revision control is that you do not want to purchase/rent/maintain a central server?

Not if that entails paying a premium first month fee over the extra bandwidth required in that period. I haven't looked much into it yet, having only given cursory looks into VPS offerings. I've had very good experiences with Go Daddy web hosting, so I'd rather stick with them. The idea is to use Go Daddy Windows VPS (their current value offering). But with their 1Gb monthly limit I just can't possibly manage that. I could swear I had prior VPS experiences where bandwidth offering where much, much, higher than this. But maybe I'm confused. Been 5 or 6 years since I last used one. In any case the first month alone, when all the setup files need to be uploaded to the server, would kill me.

Still going with a server though. But something smaller just for merges. and possibly some project management. Distributed revision control lowers bandwidth requirements considerably, so why wanting to go that route.

As for providers, not sure. This is a closed source commercial project. Other than going to the cloud, I know of no project hosting service that goes with that and offers me enough confidence to use it. But I suppose that's something I could look into.
