Website stability

[TCORDON]

I have finished development of a web portal, before putting it online, is
there a list of things that I should check in order to make sure there are
no possible crashes when it gets 'hopefully' thousands of visits (session
variable use, connections to DB, server hardware, etc.)

TIA

Seems like you want to do some load testing. Some version of Vs.Net come
with Microsoft Application Center Test which is fairly easy to use (although
not nearly a complete load testing tool).

and logs http errors, requests per second etc. Then, behind the scenes you
can check processor usage etc using perf mon
