I want to get ready for HTML 5 and start playing aroun开发者_如何学编程d with it. Do I need to install it or something before using it? How does it work? I'm currently on shared hosting.
HTML5 isn't a server-side technology. All you need to get started is a browser that supports HTML5.
See these pages for HTML5 support in different layout engines:

You don't "install" HTML5 - did you install XHTML 1.1, or HTML 4.x? (no is the answer I'm looking for). Certain browsers support HTML 5 and some don't.

You don't need to install anything. Just a texteditor and a webserver is enough. You only need to hope that the webpage visitors uses a webbrowser which supports HTML5 fully. Right now, there aren't many of them out.
It is the fifth revision of the HTML standard. HTML5 is also a potential candidate for cross-platform mobile applications.On 18 January 2011, the W3C introduced a logo to represent the use of or interest in HTML5.
<!DOCTYPE html>
is the doctype of HTML 5, add it on the top of your document.
Even if you didn't add the doctype, HTML 5 tags still work (if supported).
No.
Like all HTML it has nothing to do with hosting (unlike PHP etc).
Just create your own page with HTML5 elements and upload it to your hosting. Then you can view the page in you browser, if the browser supports HTML5 of course.
