This post has only 30upvotes right now, I'm surprised that website couldn't hold it. My WP blog hosted for ~3euro/month was a few times here on top with 600UV, on reddit, according to GA with 3600 people online at the same time... and it didn't die to my surprise. I would rather say that hosting is... not performing well.
