Hi sir,
I hosted the asp.net website in IIS 8.1, its working fine. I need to down the particular website between 10pm to 12 pm for maintenance purpose. Is it possible? Kindly give me the solution for this problem.

[Note: Need to down the hosted website for the particular time in IIS WebServer]

With regards,
J.Prabu.

0	Hi Prabu, Thanks for asking question. I would not recommend completely down the website for a particular period as if its a public website it gives wrong impression. Instead you can do following. In the Global.asax, in Application_onBeginRequest or alike event, check for the time before allowing to proceed further and if the time falls in between your specified time, redirect the user to a default error page to maintenance page. This should be the ideal solution, making the website completely unavailable is not good either for end user or for search engines.
