Conclusion

Just taking an application offline does not necessarily mean that the site is down. But in order to inform the user, a proper method selection is required when we take our application offline. Out of the different techniques mentioned above for taking a web application offline, the most reliable  way is from IIS, since that guarantees that all requests will be either rejected or rerouted to some predefined page. But the selection surely will depend on how and where our website is hosted; we may not have access to the IIS manager. In such cases, there are a variety of ways to take an application offline through ASP.NET techniques. It can be <httpRuntime> settings, App_Offline.htm or custom code. The newly added App_Offline.htm feature in ASP.NET 2.0 is really a nice way for implementing an Under Construction or Down for Maintenance message to all users while we are upgrading features, fixing bugs, or making web design changes in a Website.
