If a terminal attempts a connection to an Internet site while a server in charge of the site is under maintenance, a connection request may be denied and an error message is sent to the terminal. After the server maintenance returns to a connection enabled state, a connection guide message is sent to notify the terminal. The server includes a communication unit, a message generator, a storage unit to store identification information of the terminal, and a controller. The server generates the error message if the connection attempt occurs while the server is in a connection disabled state, generates the connection guide message if the connection disabled state is released, and transmits the messages to the terminal. The server performing the connection management function may be a content server or a connection management server.
