Do you guys know a good way to maintain projects versions.

Currently I'm just zipping the entire folder of my website each time I decide that it is new version and call it for ex. 2.0.1

Is there a better way to maintain project versions?

Thanks

+1 - just started using Git with Git extensions and Github and have to say that I'm impressed so far.

Team Foundation Server is prohibitively expensive, and I wouldn't consider Visual Source Safe at all. Alternatives are:

  1. Subversion - http://subversion.tigris.org/
  2. Git - http://git-scm.com/
  3. Mercurial - https://www.mercurial-scm.org

http://martinfowler.com/bliki/VersionControlTools.html is a nice article which may help you decide.

Team Foundation Server is a lot cheaper than some other competitive ALM solutions. And is zero marginal cost if developers have VS + MSDN already (i.e. you've already paid for it).
To be honest, even if it was free, I wouldn't choose TFS over the alternatives provided. The disadvantage of an ALM solution is that it increases vendor lock-in. For example, I wouldn't choose another CI tool over TeamCity, so what advantages would TFS provide me?

I would recommend looking into Team Foundation Server if you have the budget. If not, something like Tortoise SVN integrates nicely with Visual Studio and works really well. Git is also very good.

Have you considered using a source control software like Visual Source Safe or Team Foundation Server?

They support File and Project versioning.

I should hope that they support file and project versioning!
I would avoid Visual Source Safe unless you are already using it (in which case look at using something better: it is better than no VCS, but that's it). Free tools (Subversion, GIT, Mecurial, ...) are all superior to VSS for VCS. Tools like TFS do far more than just VCS.
