Cause
Sometimes when we create a website from WebsitePanel, synchronization between WebsitePanel and IIS web server breaks when the process is running. As a result, website will be created on server but did not complete the process so, we receive the error message at WebsitePanel.
Solution
Removing the website from IIS and recreating it from WebsitePanel should fix this issue. Windows VPS customers have administrative access over IIS so that they can remove website from IIS themselves. Shared Hosting customers can initiate the ticket from client area to get it fixed.
