Deploying CodeIgniter applications

Any shared host worth your money will offer SSH and SVN - if they don't: switch hosts. I can almost guarantee you are paying to much for the features you are receiving.

I'm on ASO, I do an svn export from my repository (either hosted on Beanstalk, Unfuddle, or on the shared hosting). During my development I keep a history of SQL files to create that environment, so a quick dump from that directory into MySQL and environment constant change (like david mentioned) and the site is live.
