First of all... Don't cross-post, there's no possible reason for you to do so.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way... Apache will handle that load
without any problems. I would look into the hardware that will be used on the
server. If you own the box, make sure you're using SCSI hard drives and have
ample RAM as to prevent your system from swapping.

The only test for a website is time, there's no magic potion, it's either fast
or it isn't. You may have the coolest ping times with a certain provider but
that doesn't ensure that your pages will get served out as quickly as you want
or need them to be. Stick with Tier 1 providers, millions of people can't go
wrong. :)

Hope this helps,

Andy
