I can recommend myself, but there are some things you can do yourself.
First of all is to search this forum. But i'll give some hints:

# Chmod 'telnet', 'wget', etc. to 700 (root only). Users could use CURL to get files.
# Disable 'system(), exec(), shell_exec() en dl()* functions in PHP.
# Enable open_basedir for all shared users. You can use safe_mode but is has many disadvanges.
# Install the suhosing PHP-hardening module.
# set 'allow_url_fopen' off in your php.ini. You don't want users to include external url's.

* default since PHP 5.2.5.
