When I've evaluated source control, the cost to benefit ratio just wasn't there.

I basically ended up writing something that was almost a reverse source control program.

They both have some form of http access available. It looks like Subversion is limited to Apache servers. I currently have a DNN site hosted externally and an SBS 2003 server. Not sure if I can use either one of those for this.
