When you say the session expires are you referring to the "Session" object, or are you saying your users are no longer considered logged in? The timeout you're setting in your code is unrelated to the Session, authentication and Session are not linked.

Although you can set a timeout value greater than the default ten minutes, the hosting service does not have to honour your request: each session occupies space in the webserver, and the longer sessions last the more memory and other resources are required to support the same number of clients. Many hosting services will not accept any increase in Session duration by default (and some limit it lower than 10 minutes).

You can either talk to your hosting service about increasing it - you may have to pay extra - or you can use Cookies instead as they are stored on the client PC and the lifetime can be a lot greater if you need it to be.
