Can someone please tell us from experience, can a shared hosting site (hostgator) handle visitors of 1000 a day for a minisite of just 10 pages with only text and just a php button for addthis.com (overall website size is 200 kb and each page size approx. is 20 kb)? Even during sudden traffic of about 1000 visitor in a few min. from digg or other places?
Can shared hosting handle this amount of traffic?

Yes, you'll be fine. You'll only run into trouble if you are doing many database queries or have a complicated framework getting set up on every page load. I smallish site that has minimal database calls will run fine with that load (unless all 1000 show up in the same couple seconds)
Nobody can give you answer to that... It all depends on the code. Good code = you can do much more traffic than that. Bad code = could push the CPU overboard with one hit.
Edit: Not sure how I overlooked the "only text" part of your post. If it's just html you could do a ton of traffic and it won't cause any issues.

well using wordpress to build website equals good coding right since it is a professional website building tool, right?
And what if you get 100 visitors a minute for the same minisite info i provided above?

It is better for you to choose a vps or dedicated hosting since your website has 1000 visitors a day .
If you're using WP on shared be sure to get the Super Cache plugin. That way you can serve cached pages, instead of parsing the PHP everytime someone loads your page.
Does having a custom search function counts as a database. (ex: someone search for answers in my website by searching on my custom google search on my website, and recieve pages relative to his search)

I completely agree, great aricle! I’m glad I stumbled across this website!

That processing will be handled by google. Your server will just be handling the html rendering around it.
a static site like that should be totally fine,
if its a db site, you could use ob_flush() to cache dynamic content and have it only query the db when the cache expires

Okay thanks for all the info which really helps! Just one last ?, even if you have intensedebate installed (IntenseDebate comments enhance and encourage conversation on your blog or website), it will still work out fine, right? And if anyone can tell me from experience, that will greatly help!
FWIW I've had my optimized Wordpress site handle 20,000 visitors a day on a $3/mo shared hosting plan. It depends on the site, but if it's optimized you can handle a lot.
These tards saying you need a VPS for 1000 visitors a day, LOL! Anyone who says that doesn't even have a fucking website with a 1000 visitors a day.

It is very hard to give you an accurate answer because there are such a lot of uncertainly factors.
Usually, a website has 1000 visitors per day can use a shared hosting.
Are you seriously? 20,000 visitors a day can host on shared hosting ?
That is impossible.
I are the seriously!!! I typically have between 2000 and 5000 visitors a day, but my largest spike ever was 20,000. It is entirely possible.
In June I had 294,000 page views...
