As your server need to be compatible to handle heavy load of traffic, I would like to suggest 'Fully managed Dedicated Server'. You also gets full freedom of installing and uninstalling as per your requirements.

Dedicated Server Hosting will be the most suitable for your website, as you get the entire server, you get the complete access to the server,complete access would mean direct root access.

IMO you need to consider a high end Fully Managed Dedicated Server to handle the amount of traffic coming to your website. You can also ask for customization on the Dedicated plans.
