Low Traffic Website - Slow Initial Load

I have a problem with my website and I think it's related to IIS recycling the app pool or shutting down the app after 20 mins of inactivity. As it is a low traffic site, when I first browse to the site the initial load can take up to 30 seconds, then after that it is very fast. If i then come back to the site say a few hours later I get the slow load time again. I'm sure it's something to do with the app pool shutting down after 20 mins of inactivity?

Another problem is that I am hosting via a hosting company so have no direct access to manipulate IIS at all. Does anyone know how I can keep my app alive so I don't suffer from the initial slow load speed issues?

You could setup a service to issue a request every few minutes to your site which can double as monitoring your site to ensure it's still running. You probably don't have access to the application pool configuration I assume.
