Plesk Error: The domain is still suspended for the following reason: Domain is temporarily suspended for backing up or restoring.

If you get the error “The domain is still suspended for the following reason: Domain is temporarily suspended for backing up or restoring.” this means that the domain is locked and you will not be able to unsuspend the domain name from the Plesk 9.x control panel.

Some solution show you editing the plesk databases directly, but there is no need for such a risk.

The solution for Plesk 9.x for Linux is as follows:

  1. Open up a command shell with the server
  2. Type the following command to directly unsuspend the domain
  3. # /usr/local/psa/bin/domain –on domain.com

Now you should see “SUCCESS: Changing status of domain ‘domain.com’ complete.”
