What is a dedicated host? One domain per server?

Is it possible to switch from shared to dedicated (with one click), without any problems & pain?

How much does it cost?

Let's say we expect 10.000 unique visitors a day, and host a million ads to be searched from database. (php mysql)
We still want to make sure site works fast, never collapses, and is secure.

Should we go dedicated?
Divide everything by 10 above. Should we go dedicated, or is shared server enough?

(don't click my sigs, they are screwed for a while)
