Unable to create more than 10 webapplication in SharePoint 2010

Issue:
SharePoint 2010: While creating a new web application above 10 in numbers we found the error message as 404 'Page not found' error is displayed and the web application is only provisioned on the local server.
Resolution:
1.On the server(s) hosting Central Admin, open IIS manager.
2. In the tree view, expand the server name and click on Application Pools.
3. Locate the SharePoint Central Administration v4 application pool. Right click on it and choose Advanced Settings.
4. In the Process Model section, set the Shutdown Time Limit to a greater value. As an example, 300.
5. Restart IIS.

Root Cacuse:
As more 10 web applications are created with 8GB of RAM As part of the creation process, IIS is reset and by default, the application pool allows 90 seconds for the connections to close off before forcibly shutting down. When the number of web applications grows above 10, 90 seconds is not enough time for the provisioning to finish.
