Hi yamaryam,
Sorry that you ran into issues here.
What you’re seeing is the result of running on shared hosting with a very underpowered server. Under normal circumstances, this doesn’t happen. AWPCP is a fairly complex plugin and it requires a reasonable amount of resources to accomplish its job. When a reasonable level of RAM isn’t present, lots of things can happen:
– 50x errors on pages
– Random 404 errors
– “The White Screen of Death”
– “Database connection is gone” errors in your logs
None of these are bugs or problems with AWPCP, unfortunately. We recommend a minimum of 128MB of RAM (although these days, 256MB is almost the minimum) to use WordPress and AWPCP on a site with any “normal” level of traffic.
When you’re on “shared hosting” they claim you have unlimited everything but that is an unfortunate lie: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cpu-throttling-shared-hosting-nightmare?replies=4

hi I had a 250Mb RAM for that site and my install I was just taking 72Mb. Anyway I upgraded my hosting plan, I will try to reactivate it. I think there could be an improvement to reduce the database requests then.
Yep, that should be a big help.
