If we close our website, does this close the email? How do we put the Winhost "site under construction" back into service?
I think the best approach is to put a "index.html" file in your root directory and just fill it with a brief message saying "This website is currently under construction." or something along the lines of that.
Upload an htm file named "app_offline.htm" in the root directory to disable your site. Basically, if you place a file with this name in the root of a web application directory, ASP.NET 2.0 will shut-down the application, unload the application domain from the server, and stop processing any new incoming requests for that application. You can read a little more on this through the following link.
Thanks, SleepWalker -- I did mention that I wanted it to be the "Winhost" page. But Cool, let's put Rey's avatar on there (or Hank?).
