I would install Ubuntu 10.4 LTS with Webmin control panel, myself. You can then just download bitcoind and use that.

If you want WHM/Cpanel, VPS company will charge you more. And I believe you'll have to use CentOS linux (which I'm not personally that keen on.)

I don't use Windows, so can't help on that.

Can anyone help with this? I would like to install the Bitcoin (and also the litecoin client) on a shared Linux webhosting server. Anyone know of a good source of info?
Thanks in advance

You need a VPS, also you should never have your bitcoind on the same server as your web hosting, that is ver insecure. You should read about security before installing bitcoind.

So if I get a VPS server with ssh, what do i need to do then?
I do have normal virtual hosting could I put the ssh client there and install the bitcoind there?

A VPS server will allow you SSH access, but most shared hosting firms do not. They want you to use the Cpanel interface.

Can't you install bitcoind on home computer? VPS's are more expensive than shared hosting.

I had a look and some offer VPS for 2 to 4 dollars a month some as low as 10 a year (which is ok). I could then put the bitcoind on another domain within the VPS I presume (y home computer is only on soetimes and at times conne3ction down etc so it is not suitable. But I really do not know what linux to use on the VPS and what apache to set up etc so it works for PHP5 and bitcoin client - litecoin client. Am a windows person on my work computers but have always used linux hosting etc as seemed more secure. they offer various linux versions etc is there a thing like eg Xamps or wamp that one can isntall on linux to make it all easier???

Doubt you'll be able to do this. Do you have ssh access?
