Best practice for uploading .Net project to web server

Question

What is the best practice for uploading a .Net project to a server without disrupting users?

Visual Studio has a Publish button that allows you to upload via FTP. I noticed that when you publish, there is downtime (when critical files such as DLLs are overwritten). If something doesn’t work, how do I roll back?

How do I do version control so that I can revert to a previous implementation?

Thanks y'all.
