# Domain/application pool recycle (Windows)

NOTE: This article applies for our Windows accounts using IIS web server only

**Domain/application pool recycling is usually necessary to resolve and prevent potential issues with hosted domains/application pools.**

The following circumstances will require automatic recycling:

* Modification to web.config or Global.asax
* Change to the contents of the application's bin directory
* Change to the physical path of the virtual directory
* Deletion of the subdirectory of the application
* The number of re-compilations (aspx, ascx or asax) exceeds the limit specified by the  setting in machine.config or web.config (default of 15)

The recycling is usually automatic, but sometimes a manual recycling is required to resolve the issue.

Please [open a technical support](https://mochahost.com/support.php) ticket if manual recycling is required.
