Running Bitcoind on a Raspberry Pi is a horrible idea, you could burn out the SD, and when syncing with the network it could lock up the machine.

You need VPS to run Bitcoind. It is not so expensive as you might think, for $20 you can find good offers.

If you still want to use shared hosting, try Blockchain.info API which allows to send and receive payments.

Why would I need a VPS if I'm running bitcoind on a local machine?

I'm in the process of developing a service that uses Bitcoins, and I'm exploring ways that I can go about integrating them into a website.

It would be required to
- see if a transaction from a certain address to another address is confirmed
- make transfers

At the moment I have shared hosting and was wondering if I could run bitcoind on a machine(EDIT: Machine would probably be a Raspberry Pi) in my local network and use it to perform these tasks. I'm also very open to other suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
