Subversion supports repository access via HTTP(S), but it requires that Apache be configured properly for it (namely, it requires the mod_dav and mod_dav_svn modules to be loaded, the repostiory root to be configured in httpd.conf, authentication to be configured properly, etc. — see the Subversion book for the nitty-gritty).
You’ll need to check with your hosting provider to see if they support this and find out how to set it up with the particular tools/level of access that they give you.
