I have had a website on a shared web hosting plan for over a year with no issues with keeping persistence. It's been prettys stable, and the only drawback of the host I am using is that it's very slow on occasion...sometimes taking 5-10 seconds to load a page.
So over the last few weeks, I went searching for another web host and and testing one out now.
So while my existing website is still running the old web host, I copied the code and data and pushed it on the new web host. It's up and running, but I noticed that shortly after I log in (Forms Authentication), I am logged off within 20-30 seconds.
I decided to add the machineKey to the web.config, and it seems to have fixed it.
My question is why would this have fixed it? I asked if the host's servers were in a web farm. They said no.
Any ideas what might be happening?
