If you know how to host a site in IIS, there isn't much more to do. Create a folder for your site in IIS, add the files, create a new web site in IIS. Set the host name and/or IP addressing requirements, create your APP Pool for the new site. etc, etc.

If you site requires any other items, such as a database or security, you did not mention that. So please consider before deploying.

Thanks March for your reply

Is it not necessary to install .NET Framework Runtime or MVC runtime.

Hi Vijayd,

If you deploy an ASP.NET 4.5 project to a hosting provider that does not support ASP.NET 4.5, the application will not run. Before you can deploy applications that are built on the .NET Framework to a server, the server must have specific software components and patches installed. Most server systems meet the requirements. However, you may have to manually verify that a specific system is ready to receive the .NET Framework redistributables. For more information, see Deployment to a Hosting Provider: Troubleshooting.
