RIA services assumes you are of course running ASP.Net hosting. You really want to be running an IIS7 server if you can (to allow dynamic URL mapping out-of-the-box as well).
If you have IIS 7 hosting it is almost 100% likely the server is already configured correctly to run Silverlight with RIA services. IIS 6 might need some updates installed first.
Unless you have your service as a separate site to your Silverlight deployment site
RIA services will generally “just work” on your shared hosting. Just deploy a sample RIA site and see what happens. If you have specific issues post the details and go from there.
Hope this helps.
