I'm developing an Feed reader app. Feeds are downloaded to my server when someone requests it. then they download to user's computer.

There will be 1-2 minutes cache for popular feeds.

We expect that there will be 1000-5000 users (that use our app)

Is a shared hosting (which currently serves almost 100 website, and it will serve 500 websites at maximum) enough for this purpose? or we should look for VPS or Dedicated hosting?

Note: Our shared hosting plan has unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth.
