Hello, I have a VPS (IIS7 with Win 2008)

It's got: 40 websites and a SQL Server 2008 powering them with only 2 Gigs of RAM.

None of the sites are mission critical, they are all just demos. I often have ram issues on the server because each site has does caching and generally uses a lot of memory.

Would it make sense to set the application pools to recycle every 3 hours?

I'm sure this would free up any memory leaks or processes left "hanging"

Are there any other tips on this?

Thank you very much!, Aron
