Apps Are RESTful and wamp-router interchangeable?

I'm interested in a global scale messenger application that publishes information like photos, files, whatever... globally to many people. It does seem like a data intensive application but it seems like every app does this anyway from Kik, Facebook, other social apps that link multiple devices and transfer large junks of data.

So... I've come across socket.io for WAMP socket/router

Then I've also heard of RESTful and SOAP for exchanging data between a server and a mobile device(s).

I imagine that is what I will need. I'm curious about how large of a server, whether it ought to be a dedicated or start off as vps possibly cloud... how do I increment based on usage growth and translate from one server to the next...

Kind of a multi-subject post but the main concept is "How to link several devices and transfer large data
formats for media files"

Thanks for any help
