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.
