The traffic has caused problems before. I can make a pretty good guess at the hardware needed to handle the site, but how do I make sure that the hosting company can handle that type of load? are there any tests one can run to stress test a site/server?
Along the same lines, how does one test bandwidth/transfer? We're looking to host a forum site that regularly has 500+ users online and its looking like at peak times we could see 1000-2000+ extremely active users(like all of them posting and refreshing constantly for an afternoon, all at the same time).
