Is it possible to install linux centos 5 remotely onto the server? I have access to the root of the server via SSH.
I have remote control access to the servers virtual media which I think I can use to upload an .iso - this could be called upon to install via SSH, I would need some help as I'm not too sure how to do this in terms of the commands to use.

You'd probably have to uninstall and reinstall the web server, possibly MySQL, etc. as well. Control panels have their hooks into these pretty deeply.
Assuming everything was installed using yum or at least rpm, this should be easy to accomplish.
I'm surprised they don't have a "bare" non-control-panel image available, though. They just had to take an image before installing the control panel.
Can anyone offer or recommend someone who can 'network install' linux centos 5?

Why not hire your host? They are best positioned to do this. They are intimately familiar with their remote image-install system, their control panel, etc. So, they are in a position to decided whether it would be best to build a new image from scratch or un-install the control panel and any other software tainted by it.
