    One of my Blog is getting so much traffic that i got an e-mail from my webhost telling me that they can't handle my site on a share hosting. I understand.

    I'm now moving to a new area. What would i need in order to get my Wordpress blog running on a dedicated server.

    Thanks.

    Thanks eniram but that is not the info im looking for.

    what i mean is what OS should i go for?
    On dedicated server is the Database easy to configure?
    Will i have to install MySql ?

    i know about moving dreamhost from one hosting to another but this dedicated server thing is a new experience for me

    Why dont you just get a managed VPS ? Could cost as less as $30 a month. And they will do all the server work for you. Its very convenient. You just use cPanel as before.
