Visual Source Safe

Discussion in 'Windows / IIS' started by mikemalter, Feb 7, 2009.

  1. I have a new client and we are thinking of using this hosting service. Everything looks really good, however one area I did not see mentioned and it is that of a source code repository. I have a copy of Visual Source Safe. Can I install it?

    Thanks.

    No. we offer shared hosting service. VSS requires a dedicated server.

    In general, you wouldn't want to install source control on a remote location too far away from your development environment. For instance, our VSS is housed in our office rather than the data center.

  3. Bruce,

    Thanks for your thoughts on this. We have been discussing this internally, and I am in favor of a central repository consisting of source code and relevent project documents on our LAN and our new customer does not.

    hmmm.. i guess customer is not always right.

    i doubt that you can find any shared host that will support VSS. YOu client may need to buy a dedicated server.
