 * How do I install Mediawiki so that it runs on my website hosted by a vendor?
 * Please refer to Manual:Installing MediaWiki.


 * 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.
 * Normally MediaWiki will be located in a subdirectory of the domain's root, called "wiki". So the URL of the wiki is http://your_domain/wiki.


 * Once I have it installed how do I gain shell access since I only have a directory on the server itself?
 * I believe that shell access to your domain of the server is something that you will need to discuss with your host provider.
