Application Pool
An Application Pool is like a dedicated workspace for a website or web application on a server. It isolates the application's processes, ensuring that if one app crashes or experiences issues, it doesn't affect others. This separation improves security, stability, and performance. Think of it as having separate rooms for different projects; each room is managed independently, making the overall environment more organized and resilient. Application pools are essential for efficiently hosting multiple websites on a single server, allowing administrators to control and optimize each application's resources individually.
