I had a "wordpress as default" blog hosted at DreamHost and it handled up to 1.000 visits a day without crashing. More than that, and DreamHost turned it off to prevent it to impact other users. Now it lives in a Digital Ocean's $20 VPS, fine tuned to serve WordPress and with W3 Total Cache plugin. Blitz.io tests say it could handle 80 million pages served a day. I know that's not really true, but it handles 60.000-80.000 real visits (more than 100k pages) every month without problems.
