title: Is it possible to set a Git/SVN version control on a webhost? And what are the advantages compared to having a personal local server?
body: <p>I'm quite confused by these concepts. I want to have a version control for my web site project. Should I install Git on my localhost or is it possible to host it on a rented web server? Is it safe? What are the advantages and disadvantages of either option? Is it worth installing it on a localhost first in order to learn how to work with it? Will the learning curve to set it up be smaller on a rented server? How long will it take to learn and setup either option (approximately)? Can I avoid command line configuration on either of the options?</p>
  
  <p>This questions refer to either git or svn, so if there's a difference I'd be interested in knowing what it is.</p>
