Here's a good primer about it:

Though I think that's for open source projects only.

Steve, go with git. And use github.com. You access your git repo via  
ssh. You can try it for free (no SSL) and then move to a cheap $7/mo  
SSL'd private plan.

I'm sure there are other services out there. Some that even provide  
SVN hosting.

Internally, we've used CVS. We moved to SVN (with Mantis, integrated  
with SVN). If I had the time I think I'd fully convert over to git.
