Around 20% of people who sign up on myVersionControl never activate their account. There are several possible reasons for this, but in the main, spam catchers and a less than clear 'getting started' guide are to blame. In order to increase the number of users successfully signing up and actively using their accounts, we have made two changes to the website. The first is to get rid of the requirement to authenticate your email address. We've mulled over the security implications of these and we're happy that they are negligible. If for any reason, we are proved wrong, we can switch it back on instantly. Secondly, we have begun a radical overhaul of the support section. We are now including animated tutorials and walk through's in the getting started section of myVersionControl in the hope that the time it takes new users to get up to speed with the service will be greatly reduced.
Oh, and before you go, our developers are itching to try out their Ajax skills on the control panel, so you can expect some exciting new developments there soon too!
Uptime statistics published.
One important aspect of being the best subversion host on the internet is guaranteed uptime. Ever since myVersionControl started serving repositories in 2006 we have had our uptime professionally monitored. You can now view this essential data on our uptime page.
Regular maintenance window update.
We would like to inform our customers of a new regular maintenance window. This is to make sure that myVersionControl maintains its position as the very best version control and project management tool on the Internet. Until further notice we have identified Sundays from 2300 hrs until 0200 hrs GMT as quiet times. During these hours you may find myVersionControl response times slower than normal.
Upload repositories via svnsync feature added.
It is now possible to upload repositories from a remote repository to your myversioncontrol repository using svnsync.
This capability can also be used to either to initialise a new repository with your current data or as an online backup of your local repository if your master copy is not being held within myversioncontrol. Full instructions can be found in the knowledgebase (see Support).

myVersionControl is now growing at a rate of 5 signups per day. This phenomenal growth which has outstripped expectations has been largely due to word of mouth as myVersionControl do not currently advertise.
