Timeout

A "host server timeout" typically refers to the amount of time a server is willing to wait for a response from another server or client before considering the connection or operation as unsuccessful.
In the context of web servers, applications, or network communication, timeout settings are crucial for managing efficiency and preventing indefinite delays.
Setting appropriate timeout values is crucial for maintaining the responsiveness and reliability of a system. Too short of a timeout might result in premature failures, while too long of a timeout could lead to delays in detecting and handling issues.

The default timeout set by the software is 10000 milliseconds, the timeout if necessary to be changed it needs to be set in milliseconds.
