Hi we are expecting a spike in traffic next week after a promo. Does anyone know if upgrading the droplet to something like the highest of the high volume plans:
64GBMemory 20 CoreProcessor 640GBSSD Disk 9TBTransfer
Would be enough to sustain 25,000 visitors at once or 150,000 hits in a few minutes?
I know they have recommended a DEDICATED server, which DO is not. Does anyone have experience with this?

I guess If u need good latency and throughput here should be good hosting. Nowadays I use this cdn which deliver the files to my end users in a super speed.
In my opinion it seems a bit excessive, having 20 cores and such, what sort of application are you running?
