"startups that became big overnight" most overnight successes I've seen have been a 3+ year timeline. Your question is too vague without knowing things like the application target/purpose, number of users and pricing model, and what a page is made up of (in terms of bytes and server load (ie: database driven, are db queries heavy as reads, writes or both? Are any objects cachable?). Also, how are you looking to measure the growth? CPU ticks consumed per page load over time? Server costs per month? Bandwidth? DB storage growth? User registrations? Unique page views? Maybe it's just me, but the more I read your question, the more vague it seems :)
