Expecting sudden traffic - How to scale up mojoPortal site?

Hi,

A food product (truffle infused olive oil, delicious btw)  from my client will be reviewed on the View (as in Barbara Walters view). So the site http://mardonaspecialtyfoods.net will get some hits. How many? Difficult to say but assuming the "View" has 800.000 viewers , 2% of them may want to go to the site so thats 15k viewers, perhaps distributed over 30 min that gives me roughly 8 simultaneous users on the site. Should be fine, but what if I'm wrong? I'm hosted on Arvixe (shared hosting)? Should I you put up a server on rackspace cloud?

8 simultaneous users or 40 simultaneous users.  I don't know exactly when you should be concerned, but for that...

No problem.  You will be fine.
