web service under heavy traffic

The dilema I face is about 100 websites will hit my web service. Further since they will all probably hammer it at the same time, in the morning.

My poor web service is just one computer and I fear it will crash fast. Does it make sense to have multiple web services and have some companies hit a certain webservice and the other companies use a second web service on the same computer.

Or is the only way around this to use some form of server farm...

having multiple services (one for each user) instead of multiple users accessing the same service wouldn't make any difference whatsoever.

If anything, it would make things worse.

If your hardware can't cope with the load, the only solution is to use more hardware and distribute the load.

100 simultaneous requests shouldn't really be a problem though, unless the requests are very expensive.
