I've heard a lot about dedicated application pools in Windows hosting. Can anyone explain how they actually improve performance and whether they are beneficial?

Dedicated application pools help improve performance in Windows server hosting by keeping each website or application separate. This means every site runs in its own process, so if one site crashes or experiences high traffic, it won’t slow down others on the same server.
This is especially useful in Windows shared hosting, where multiple websites are hosted on the same server. Without dedicated app pools, one poorly optimized site could use too many resources and affect everyone else. With dedicated pools, your site gets its own allocated memory and CPU, so performance stays consistent.
Security is another big advantage. Since each site runs in isolation, any security issue or crash on one site won’t impact the others. Plus, you can run different .NET versions or customize settings for each application, which is great if you’re hosting multiple projects.
If you're considering Windows web hosting, I recommend choosing a plan that suits app pools. This will significantly improve your performance and reliability.
