I don't know what server you are using, but the average server should easily handle 2 - 4 million hits a day. So I think you are safe with almost anything for 1.5 million hits a month. But of course all this will depend on the complexity of your code. We had a site that was required to return thousands of records where each record resulted in a series of nested searches. It wasn't a well designed database and it could not handle a load. It slowed the server to a crawl with only a handful of concurrent users. But, hey, you wouldn't write code like that, right?
