Yes, 10K unique visitors a day could be handled by a VPS. However, I would recommend considering a Dedi Server, keeping in mind that your site resource consumption may increase during peak hours.

I've had Hostgator for several years and I've bee very happy with them. If you intend on using CPanel, you will need the Level 3 VPS.
Will they warn me on CPU usage and allow me to upgrade if I say start at the 3, thanks in advance

I've also been with HG for a while and have no complaints, they have excellent customer service.
You will most likely get a warning and be allowed to upgrade. I've gotten a few warnings in the past without interruption of service.
You can also go to their main web page and chat with customer service. I find them to be very competent.

Yes, they do warn if the usage increases 80% of the total allocated.
Hostgator is very transparent with its prices, it says very obviously that it's extra for cPanel, and even mentioned at the top of this thread. Whenever I've had to talk to their support team they've always been cool people, and fixed my problems within minutes (literally).
My guess is you just jumped right in without reading everything.

According to their vps hosting page it mentions mysql/php etc and also says FULLY managed... but I digress...
The real point I wanted to make is:
A web host that doesnt include mysql/php/ftp as default is a bit strange in this day and age dont you think? Also why do they need to have Cpanel to install mysql/php/ftp?

For the wordpress script, the best webserver for it was LiteSpeed. You can find that wordpress.org was using LiteSpeed webserver.
But, It need some experience with Linux to setup the LiteSpeed Webserver. Try cpanel first.

Maybe used cpanel can make their work easy. If you know linux, you don't need cpanel to make the vps work. Apache/php/mysql, both of them are free.
