It would all depend on what kind of server it is hosted from and how many others are using it for their hosting and what they run.
But if you already know you will have 180.000 users I suggest you do not take shared hosting. It might cause trouble if any other high-traffic website are ran at it.
If this is your first experience with administrating a website I would like to warn you that 180.000 users are a lot and that there are not many websites that attract that many people.
Also shared hosting does not offer that great support often. And if you have 180.000 members you will need the best support possible knowing big sites like that are often a prey to hackers.
