How to handle lots of site traffic

[DaveJ]

2. Ok... thanks, GoDaddy.

I'm on a low bandwidth connection right now, so I can't watch that video.

I am not clear on how a $6/mo plan can compare to a $150/mo plan. You said the $6/mo plan would work, then go on to say if you need more try the cloud servers.... So you can see how I might be confused and would need to know exactly how to tell when to upgrade, how long it takes, and most of all, what to expect in advance of launching my site (probably not many hits, but anyway). I need the fastest speed possible the day of launch, so I'm also wondering if it is more cost effective to have the images hosted on a different server.
