releasing to production

Hey guys,

Our company is coming close to its first production relase. We were wondering how you handle your 'Production Releases' with CI? (ie. put up a splash page, change .htaccess to point to it, then upload newest code and change the .htaccess back to original)

We are stuck and don't know how to do this. What we're currently visualizing is the following (a little lengthy) :
1) replace default controller to be 'release_in_progress_splash_page', and change .htaccess to redirect all urls to index.php (which will load the default controller)
2) delete old files on production, and upload all new files to production site
3) change the .htaccess back to normal(site back to normal)

This kind of seems a little weird to me because we are going to be deleting old files and uploading new files, and there will be a small time span where a user may get a 'Page cannot be displayed'.

A current world example we are trying to achieve is when 'YouTube' was releasing their newest version of code they had a simple Splash Page saying 'We are testing something in the lab'....Once their release was finished they had their regular site back up without a glitch......we would like to achieve this same example.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
