Since a week I use ToirtoiseSVN and AnkhSVN and GoogleCode and sourceforge.net as my project hosting. For me it's frustrating to fill all this forms before create next project. So I start thinking about my own repository hosting.

Can I use simple file hosting etc. and install there software like use Google or SourceForge to have my own SVN Server? My point is to have independent repository in internet without all this uselessly UI interface which give me Google and SF to administrate my version control. I don't want to take advantage of already existing hosting services like GoogleCode etc. - I want to be independent from them! ;)

Or maybe it's other way to do my own repository hosting and FREE ;) Please don't tell me that I'm at mercy of commercial hosting... :/
