For scheduling tasks in ASP.NET MVC you have several options:

• 3rd party libraries like FluentScheduler, HangFire or Quartz.net.
• Since .Net 4.5.2 there is QueueBackgroundWorkItem, a native way to schedule work in the background. Here is a guide on how to use it with ASP.NET MVC.
• Azure services for background workloads and scheduled tasks. There are a couple of those aimed at different tasks, here is an overview of them.

Be careful if you try to implement a custom solution yourself, as any exception in a thread not associated with a request would halt the entire process.
