I'm on shared hosting. My hosting provider says like this:

We have again cross checked the webserver configuration everything is fine from server end, please coordinate with your programmer he/she will create a custom php.ini file as per your application.

check my php.ini file:

allow_url_include = off
expose_php = off
zend_extension="/usr/local/IonCube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so"
safe_mode = off 
memory_limit = 512M

Check my site:http://www.androidizer.com/ Now the site is running, if I do any activity, the site will show internal server error.

Kindly help me.

Why do you need that high of a memory_limit? Your system obviously does not have enough to support it. Have you tried using a lower limit, like 64M or 128M? –  user42826 Dec 6 at 7:59

Your site is too big for your allocated memory. you need to either increase the memory allocated for your site or remove functionality. If you really need so much memory (512M) then you should probably move to your own VPS in which you will be at least guaranteed that this amount of memory actually exists for you at any time.

Everyone is giving the same reply I need to resolve this issue Actually this is a misconfiguration in somewhere and my site is having only 600 visits per day! The VPS is waste for me! –  AkhilAniyan Dec 7 at 2:19
 
the problem is not with the configuration, for some reason your site actually requires more memory then it can get. Since you are in a shared hosting environment it is possible that your memory setting is just ignored. –  Mark Kaplun Dec 7 at 5:24
