are there any free Team Foundation Server sites we can use for our private development? Please don't say CodePlex (which I love) because that means the code is all opensource.
Lastly, I also understand that some people might raise the issue of having their private code hosted somewhere by people they do not know, etc.. so please don't raise any security concerns.
I'm guessing there are no free services because of licensing reasons?

Team Foundation Server rebranded to Azure DevOps Server.
TFS will provide us with 5 user free of charge, which means we can have up to 5 free user at the same time. If you delete one of them and replace him with someone else, that number will still be identified as 5. If you need to get 6 or more, you need to make a purchase.
To learn how, go to Install Team Foundation Server. Launch the application-tier only wizard. Specify the name of the SQL Server where you just restored the databases and choose List Available Databases to populate the list. Choose the configuration database.
Team Foundation Server (Microsoft TFS) helps manage teams and their code. It's because TFS offers a combo of version control, issue tracking, and application lifecycle management.
Can anybody recommend a good free online Team Foundation Server repository? I found CodePlex but it's only for open source projects. Microsoft lists several TFS hosting partners on its website: microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/….
Since we are support team for Microsoft Teams which is a product you can collaborate with other users, we are not familiar with the Team Foundation Server. Regarding to your question, I suggest you post it to the dedicated forum-- Developer Community, where you can get more professional assistance.
Of course the big key for VSTS is Microsoft -hosted agents who undertake building and deploying the code. Team Foundation Service is the on-premises offering built on SQL Server backend, and Visual Studio Team Services is the cloud offering that provides a reliable globally available service.
These web services are used by applications like Visual Studio Team System to use TFS as data storage back end or dedicated TFS management applications like the included Team Foundation Client. The web services are in the application layer.
Microsoft are currently providing their next generation cloud hosted TFS service at tfs.visualstudiow.com - private repositories are free for up to 5 users but they have indicated that they will be charging for the service when you in the future when you have more than 5 users in your account.
If you are a small start-up and wanted to use TFS inside your firewall, then take a look at the new BizSpark program from Microsoft. This provides basically everything you need to start up a Microsoft technology based company for free (apart from the hardware) - including TFS and Visual Studio.

I would find it doubtful that there would be a free one. Team Foundation Server was very expensive for us to implement so I would be surprised if someone was hosting for free. Other than the CodePlex type options.
There are services where you can pay per user per month like this one or this one>
I find it doubtful you will find free though.
