IIS Under Construction Page

I just finished porting the content over from www.lowcountrygeologic.com and I was ready to build the new DotNetNuke version. The only problem was that the Lowcountry Geologic was a live site. I needed to display an under construction page to let users know that the site didn't just drop off the map. Putting up an under construction page wasn't as straight forward as I though it should be, but I still came up with a quick and easy solution. In IIS I created another site for the under construction page. Then I removed the identity (host header value) from the old site and moved it to the under construction site. This is done by right clicking on the site in IIS, then clicking Properties. On the Web Site tab, click the "Advanced" button. Click the "Add" button and add the domain. I left the TCP port 80 and entered the domain name as the Host Header Value. It may not be the preferred way to do things, but it was quick and easy.
