ASP.NET website on a shared hosting featured on Mashable or Techcrunch

assume the hypothetical case of a small ASP.NET website on a shared hosting (up to 250MB RAM) that is featured on a blog such as Mashable or Techcrunch (approx. 300K daily views).

Common sense tells me that it would have a severe impa开发者_运维百科ct on the website's response time and throughput, but I have no real experience.

Has anyone been in this situation before? Would the impact be so severe as I am thinking? Thank you for sharing.

Could you not try and simulate it in a load test?
