Short description of Web Site Ping Service=Improved ASP.NET P 2.1: The Problem: After my ASP.NET website sits idle for more than 20 mins the next request is very slow. The reason is that the application domain is flushed from IIS and the application needs to be recompiled. This was as annoying as it was affecting the traffic to my web site. Changing the processModel settings in the machine.config would solve the problem but my web-hosting provider would not give me access. This is your FIX!
