   Almost daily my site shows fatal errors to visitors. I don't think this has anything to do with version 2.8.2, cause previous version had the same problem (even with 2.6)

   My hosting provider says I should upgrade to a bigger (more expensive) server with more memory, cause the problem is caused due to a lack of enough memory for all the visitors that visit the site at the same time. I doubt that, cause sometimes the site runs perfectly with 50 or more visitors at the same time and sometimes with 14 visitors the fatal errors occur. As a temperoray solution my hosting provider increased the amount of memory, but the errors still occur.

   The fatal error messages point to many different files within the wordpress installation, some examples:

   Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 262144) (tried to allocate 311296 bytes) in /home/denhelder/domains/denhelderactueel.nl/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 549

   Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 1835008) (tried to allocate 4864 bytes) in /home/denhelder/domains/denhelderactueel.nl/public_html/wp-includes/kses.php on line 1010

   Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 2621440) (tried to allocate 4864 bytes) in /home/denhelder/domains/denhelderactueel.nl/public_html/wp-includes/query.php on line 1565

   Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 18087936) (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/denhelder/domains/denhelderactueel.nl/public_html/wp-includes/pomo/entry.php on line 49

   Anyone have any idea what could cause this and how to solve it?

   add this line to your wp-config.php

   define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

   had that before, didnt help (but added it again). Plus: when those errors appear, all sites on the server show them and are unavailable. So to me it looks like a server-relates issue, not a wp-installation-related issue.

   it's definitely server related - for some reason php memory is exhausting
   maybe change the 64M to 96M
   otherwise your host needs to fix this
