Hi all,
I would like some suggestion on this matter please. I have never bothered using any code repositories / version control systems for our web development project, many cause I didn't know any better, and probably cause most of our projects don't really require that we need to keep a history of what has changed. i.e. a client wants to change something on their website, and we change it, whether it's cosmetics or code (normally PHP & MySQL).

If you're just getting into source code control, then I'd strongly recommend bypassing "legacy" systems like CVS and Subversion. Most of the world seems to be moving to distributed system like git (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29).
You can host your own git repositories, or you can use a third party hosting service like github (http://github.com/).
I moved all of my projects from Subversion to github (http://github.com/davorg/) a year ago and I'm very happy with it.
Thanx Dave, I'll check it out. Isn't GIT more aimed at software, than web development projects?
P.S. I don't have a problem hosting my own code, we already have all the infrastructure in place :)
Git can be used to store any data that you want to keep different versions of.
