You can use http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Special:Export, just add *all* pages (API call/Special:AllPages/similar solution) to the textbox, uncheck "Include only the current revision, not full history" to have full history, save the file prepared. Then you should buy a new server, put the dump on the server and call https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ImportDump.php. You will have new wiki with old content. If you want to go for hosting, you should use Special:Import as the reverse solution.
Hope that helps.
