You basicly set it up like on your local PC. When you purchase a dedicated server, you get "remote desktop" access to it, meaning that you can access the PC just like your own via internet. Look up wikipedia for "Remote Desktop" for more info.

You will need to set it up with command prompt I find it harder so I alwyas choose a Windows Dedicated...

If you got a linux dedicated or VPS you can access it via a SSH tunnel, applications for windows: Putty and Bitwise Tunnelier....
In my opinion its easier to setup the server on linux, since everything is just a few short commands you can paste into the commandline (almost) and you are done, the database parts can be done from your computer via remote, so there is no need for anything else then just installing all dep's and then clone and compile the core...
Also it takes less then half time it does on windows, since the installation of the c++ compiler is on approximately 30 seconds instead of 30 minutes

If you need help setting up a server on linux mail me on lillecarl AT gmail dot com
