A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH TERMINAL SERVERS
All hosting providers use terminal servers, and typically when no users are logged in, the server drops to a low power or hibernation mode after about 2 hours. This breaks the sync between your application and the outside database. The next time a user logs into the server, the services start back up but sometimes error. This triggers a server reboot to remedy the problem. When the service does come back up, the sync starts to pull data down to update, making the server bog down and lag for your users. This performance lag can take several hours until your application data is fully synced.
THE SUMMIT HOSTING SOLUTION
We create a local admin user on the server and set the user to no inactivity timeouts. That way the user never logs out and the server never drops to low power or hibernation mode. This allows your application to stay active and live at all times, never breaking the sync, and never causing a performance lag.
