Here an example:

                var sc = new ServiceController("Your service name");
                sc.Stop();
                sc.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(120));
                logger.Info("service stopped.");

Its possible to do it but its unlikely that you want to run your website under an account which has enough rights to be able to Start/Stop services. You can use the ServiceController class to start a service see here
