Google search for 'load testing tools.' Apache's AB (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/ab.html) or Locust ( http://locust.io ) will do this for you.

I have an OVH dedi that I pay $60/month for, I can host all of my projects on it. It's fantastic.
Interesting question :) I'd like to know this too!
