You're looking for the ServiceController class.

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

Here an example:

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

Use the ServiceController class.
