If you have to worry about scaling or downtime if a blog post hits HN's front page, then I'm afraid that you screwed up really bad somewhere. Any server should be able to handle that traffic.

See: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3451893, scaling Wordpress isn't exactly easy, when running on shared hosting.
