i'll recommend you to use one from vpsland.com , they are pretty nice.
You'll get a remote acess control in 0-24 hs by mail, you go to start-> all programs -> accessories -> remote desktop conection and type in thenumber they gave you. There you go! You have access to your "virtual" pc, now just download xampp (if you need phpmyadmin and mysql), and setup the ot just like you do on your pc. If helped, rep+, if any doubts, post a reply.
