I would like to publish my asp.net core to my own domain that is hosted on a shared hosting.
However, after publishing I would like to spend a few hours live testing it (yeah, I have yet to learn auto testing using selenium).
While doing so, I want to prevent visitors from knowing that the site is published so that they won't use it; some strangers know that I will be publishing some time soon and they may have set up auto monitoring.
How can that be achieved?

Best recommendation would be to use a different subdomain if your applications isn't affected by the domain it is accessed on, this will allow the older version to still be used by others. But if you don't mind if others are completely unable to access the system while you are testing, just whitelist only your IP on the domain.

You can setup a gateway for you website.
You can set IP whitelist in the server hosting provider, or you can use a reverse proxy like Nginx to set IP whitelist or HTTP auth before the requests arrive your website.
If the domain doesn't matters, you can use subdomain as Jacob suggests

I always host wordpress with Godaddy and bluehost but now my client asked if it will be possible to host it in Google cloud platform if it is better.
My question are:
1- What are the benefit I will get comparing to other hosting?
2- what is the annual price? I checked it in Google but it is not clearly mentioned. It only says you pay based on usage.

3- Does they provide an easy access to cpanel ( file manager – database and phpmyadmin).
4- Do I need to have developer skills to use it? Or they will provide 24 hours support?
Thanks in advance
That's totally different. Google cloud platform using Cloud server and it can't compare with traditional shared hosting and of course the fee will be more expensive.
Yes, you can check directly via that link. I never use Google, but I use Azure. My experience Azure is very costly, but the deployment is very easy. The cost that I need to pay at that time is 6 times higher than my shared hosting. So, I moved back to shared hosting again.
You can login directly to the server

I have tried many hosting services and they all have the downtime problem. Now, i am well aware that downtime is inevitable and will happend eventually, but i have been wandering if a website can be hosted in multiple hostings to solve this problem. For example, i have my website in one hosting company and if for any reason my site goes down in that site, my domain name can redirect to the alternative hosting company.
Is that posible? and if so, how can it be done?
I will greatly apreciate any help.
It's difficult to have 100% uptime guaranteed, but having multiple servers spread across multiple providers can get you close.
The trick is letting your DNS know which IP to serve your site from. My DNS provider has a failover system that monitors my sites; if it detects any downtime, it automatically serves up a secondary IP address for requests to my domain.
Of course, this requires having an infrastructure in place to ensure the content is synced across multiple servers but if you're in the game for a failover system like this I'm guessing you've already got something like that in place.

I'm running an ASP.NET web site through IIS from my computer.
I can access this website with ip address from my computer like http://192.168.2.3:81/
The question is how to access this website from other computers?
you need to open 81 port for your site in Windows Firewall on your computer so that you can access it from other computer.
Please refer here
you can access the url within local system without any issues...but if you want to access your website remotely from other system then you must have to allow that port(here 81) in windows firewall...once that port is opened then other machines can able to access your application with that port...
For enabling port in windows firewall do the following steps
1.Start -> run -> wf.msc (Windows Firewall shortcut)
Goto inbound rules -> new rule
3.give the port number as per your requirement
4.Finish
5.Access your application across the world...Enjoy!!!

Is there a way to serve a site off my personal computer to other computers on my network?
I have a website that I created that I would like to have others in the same building be able to access it, but not over the internet. I would also not like to have to purchase a domain name.
You can have users access a site on your internal network by running some HTTP Server like Apache HTTPD (an easy installer is included in WampServer) or Microsoft IIS.
If you go the WampServer route, it has an option for making your site available to other computers ("Put Online"); this exposes the website to any computer which can reach yours. Other people in your building would be able to type your local IP address into their web browser and access your site.
For example, if your local IP address is 192.168.0.101, users should be able to access your site using a URL like this: http://192.168.0.101/
Yes you can do that. you need to host your web site in your local computer and then others in your local network can access it using the ip address.

I am trying to find out if I can get notified when a site is down, or when a service running under WAS is no longer running.
I don't want to code a monitoring tool, I am sure there must be something out there...
I'm using this
http://tools.pingdom.com/
Beside the cool online tools you have a subscription for monitoring your site.
I found a couple more, haven't used them. These seem totally free while pingdom tools is only free for one site.
http://www.uptimerobot.com

I also had this need, so I created an open source app called Pinger. You can do unlimited URLs with intervals of your choosing. The docs has instructions for getting running on Heroku quickly:
https://github.com/austinthecoder/pinger
I personally use Content Site Monitor. It has a really simple and cool web interface that allows you to view your site’s up-time statistics on a desktop or mobile screen. It’s easy to configure your monitoring parameters as well.
It doesn't just ping your server to make sure that it's alive. It allows you to specify certain content/keywords that you want to monitor. It will send you alert email if the content/keywords are missing from your site or if your site goes down.
Best of all, it’s free to monitor up to 3 sites!
