I have a share hosting, and I charge 150$/years to host company website. Those websites have a maximum of 2000 person per month accessing the site, mostly WordPress site. So everything is fine until a person in Facebook, with 300 000 friend talk about the website. You know, if just 10% go see the site, it's 30 000 person at the same time accessing the site, and what should append just append, the site crash, and then after 1 hours, it's back on...

So the question, how to cope with that kind of load ?

Install Scalr http://code.google.com/p/scalr/ and move your hosting to ec2 or RackSpace cloud server you will be able to automatically scale up and down servers as needed based on your server load. Plus it has automatic MySQL redundancy so if any DB crashes it'll bring up a slave as the master.
