This is the link which was shared in a similar post some two years ago. However the link is not available anymore. Do we have an alternative.
If you want to migrate from VSTS to TFS on-premise, please see Migrate VSO to on premises TFS.
You can also have a try for VSTS Sync Migration Tools,it allows you to bulk edit and migrate data between Team Projects on both Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) and Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS).
Then the alternative way would be get and upload the source code manually. And use Execl to export and import the work items.
Also, you can use OpsHub Visual Studio Migration Utility, the Commercial Edition supports migration from either TFS or VSTS to either TFS or VSTS.

I need to migrate our online VSTS to our own self-hosted TFS 2017 server.
Is there a way to do it and preserve history?
No, there currently is no easy way to move from Azure DevOps (formerly VSTS) back to Azure DevOps Server (formerly TFS) with full fidelity.
There are tools that can migrate work items over. There are tools that can migrate git over. There are tools that can migrate TFVC over (but all IDs change)... But there are so many other things potentially in your Team Projects (like Test results, builds, package management etc)...
In the end getting (mostly) everything from Azure DevOps into Azure DevOps Server should be doable, but you may loose links between items, lose some history and will likely reset dates and author data in the process.

I would like to learn TFS. I have a windows 7 64bit computer. Is there an express free version or a trial I can use? My main goal is to learn something about TFS for a scrum project I would like to learn to create.
The simplest way to learn TFS is to create a Visual Studio Team Services account, which is the free (for 5 users) cloud version of TFS. You can use the extension called 'Sample Data Widget' that can generate enough sample data to play with the agile planning tools.
If you want to learn configuration and setup, grab the free trial version, stick it in a VM and practice as much as you want.
Or download the VM which contains a pre-configured instance of TFS with sample data. That makes it easier to get started. There is also a whole list of hands-on labs that you can run through for both TFS and VSTS.

I want to move my TFS 2008 to Visual studio Team Services. Could you please tell me how to do that ? I saw few articles on this but it looks complicated to follow those steps.
Since TFS 2008 (and indeed 2010) is no longer supported you Will likely find it difficult to find documentation. There are two tools to help you. One from OpsHub that can migrate you to Team Services and the other from the product team called TFS Integration Tools.
You should follow the ALM Rangers migration guide if you can, and use the OpsHub tool if you can't.

I am about to start using Visual Studio 2012 Pro with Azure Websites. I am not using Source control at present. However the idea of rolling back previous versions is very appealing if new code does not work. I really want to keep this as simple as possible.
The options I see are:
1.) TFS (service)
2.) GIT from Local repository to Azure Repository.
3.) Hosted GIT. SInce I am not using GIT at present, then I think this could become an unnecessary extra step.
I am using MVC3, EF4.1, SQL Server, C#.
From your experiences of both, it would be very interesting to hear of your observations
Thank you in advance.
EDIT:
Yes it could be opinion based, but I was hoping for some factual feedback from any folks that had perhaps tried both. I have altered my question above accordingly.
You can use Visual Studio Online. It integrates well with Azure Management Portal and offers both TFS and Git.
Visual Studio Online is free for up to 5 users. Whether you want to go with Git or TFS, I suggest you play around with both and then decide which one you like.
It also offers Agile and Scrum development process templates.

Can anybody recommend a good free online Team Foundation Server repository?
I found CodePlex but it's only for open source projects.
Upto five team members it is free. Try it :)
http://tfs.visualstudio.com/
Free is TFS hosted on Windows Azure: http://tfspreview.com/
If you need more info about TFSPreview, please read Brian Harry's MSDN blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bharry/archive/2011/09/14/team-foundation-server-on-windows-azure.aspx
To obtain activation code just register there or contact someone from MS ALM team.
Update: TFS Preview goes live&stable as Visual Studio Online here: http://www.visualstudio.com still free for 5 team members and build server computing time. Another nice feature automatic build&deploy (daily or continuous integration) to Azure. More info: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-continuous-delivery-use-vso/
Readify used to run their TFSNow hosted TFS service, but I don't think it's going any longer. The only others I've heard of, apart from CodePlex, aren't free:
Phase2
TeamDevCentral

I know this thread is old, but since a Google search brought me here, it will also do to other people who may find this useful.
Microsoft recenly launched Visual Studio Online, which is free for projects with up to 5 users:
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-online-overview-vs.aspx
I have been using it for a while, and it integrates completely with Visual Studio 2013. It claims integration with other IDEs too. Apart from TFS, Git can also be used with it.

VSO is now Azure DevOps https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vso
Recently Microsoft Visual Studio Online (VSO) is now Azure DevOps
You can use Visual Studio Team Services for free. Also you can import a TFS repo to this cloud space.
tfs.visualstudio.com
This is what you wanted.
One of recent the TFS Rocks pocasts mentioned such an organisation, may have been number 16.
