Can it handle 1000 visitors per hour?

If you have 1000 visitors per hour it is better to go for a vps or a dedicated server.

Also can we have some of your stats? I mean are those unique visitors or not? And what is the monthly bandwidth that your site is using

I believe that it will be reasonable to choose a host who understands your specific needs, and who can sit down with you and talk about what your needs are, and how that host can accommodate for those needs.

maybe. But i dont think that someone will host him with 1000visitors. On a shared enviroment.
And if he does he will probably have no clients or does not care about the others using the same server

Shared can easily handle that many an hour. At least we can. It's all about caching and not letting services get bloated down.

You are kidding 1000 Visitors Per Hour = 24000 Visitors a Day … In my opinion OP should opt cloud hosting platform so he will be able to scale his account up or down according to the requirement of resources.

It depends upon the content of your website. If its a blog or an e-commerce website then a VPS with 1 GB RAM will be good enough to handle the load, but if the site hosts videos or some streaming content then a Dedicated server will be the only solution.
