The other option at Rackspace besides a Cloud Server is Cloud Sites. It's 0/month for a load-balanced cluster if you think it's going to be that busy. Windows hosting provides:


Windows 2008 Server
.NET v2, v3, & v3.5 SP1
IIS 7
MS SQL 2008


The hosting plan includes:


50 GB of scalable storage space.
500 GB of monthly bandwidth.
10,000 compute cycles per month.
24 x 7 x 365 support via live chat, phone, email or ticket


The nice thing about this approach is it can "scale up" (depending on what type of load your site produces. I don't think the database or storage "scale" like the web servers do).

At least this way you can get some load testing ideas (which you should do if you're expecting high traffic) on your setup now before you actually release it. Depending on what you find you can plan out more site work (eg. caching) or infrastructure the site needs (eg. database read replicas, CDN, etc.)
