How it works...

In this recipe, we learned about three types of properties of IIS applications: basic properties, advanced properties, and recycling. We can use these properties for the web applications we will host in IIS Server to process them through the application pool. When hosting a web application, there are always some requirements we need to configure in the application pool settings.

For example, our management may decide that we need to limit the queue of 2and3.5apppool applications. We can just go to the advanced settings and change it.

In the next section, we will host a v4.0 .NET framework website and make use of the v4.0 application pool.
