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.

I do have normal virtual hosting could I put the ssh client there and install the bitcoind there? Title: Re: how to install Bitcoin client on a shared linux webserver??

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. Title: Re: how to install Bitcoin client on a shared linux webserver?? Post by: shedman on November 10, 2012, 05:29:13 PM Can anyone help with this?

Title: Re: how to install Bitcoin client on a shared linux webserver?? Post by: Buffer Overflow on November 10, 2012, 06:49:45 PM 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 generally use Windows, so can't help on that.
