Thread:Project:Support desk/Hosted Site installation and management

I am a newbie and have some basic questions to see if this will work for my application. I own a domain with FTP server/directory access: How do I install Mediawiki so that it runs on my website hosted by a vendor? How do I control the url of the wiki? I do not want it to hijack my site. I want it to be a subdomain. Once I have it installed how do I gain shell access since I only have a directory on the server itself?

Will this work in my scenario?

Thank you for your reply, I really could not find these questions in the forum or FAQs.
