We have recently switched ISPs for our hosting needs.  On April 1st, our
online store (www.chiltown.com) will be live and based upon our advertising
budget, we expect 100,000 page views per day for the first week.

I would like to know how others actually test load and if someone could help
us either prove or disprove that our site (www.chiltown.com) can handle the
load.  We are interested in testing only the performance / load on the first
page.

We would also like to know how others test their sites for load as well as
the best ISPs that can take some serious pounding.  Any information you can
send to me is greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.
