# Internal Server Error 500

 * From time to time I am getting an Internal Server Error on my site. Initially
   I thought there was a conflict with my host: Aplus.net. So I called them but 
   received no information whatsever. They basically told me to wait and see.
 * Can anyone tell me what the problem might be? .htaccess file?
 * Feel free to browse and see if you get an error: [http://www.copilotnewyork.com](http://www.copilotnewyork.com)
 * Please help.

 * Thanks for checking chaaban.
 * Does anyone know or have any ideas why this might be happening? It’s random, 
   I’d say once everything 20 page views.

 * 500 errors are notoriously difficult to troubleshoot without actually sitting
   on the server and watching what it’s doing at the time of the error (especially
   when they are _random_). This is one of those cases where “you should check with
   your host” is sadly the best suggestion we can offer.

 * That makes sense Kafkaesqui, thanks. I’m using Aplus.net as my host and it’s 
   not a love affair. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to shop around for other providers.
 * What’s an optimal host environment for WordPress?
    Would Media Temple be a good
   choice?

 * I’ve no experience with mt but not heard much bad about them. WordPress does 
   have a ‘suggested’ hosts page:
 *  [http://wordpress.org/hosting/](http://wordpress.org/hosting/)
 * Personally, I use [ICDSoft](http://www.icdsoft.com/) for both my site and for
   a number of people I’ve set things up for, and in the last 3+ years had only 
   a single incident which required contacting them. I’m not much for personal endorsements,
   but I’ll go out on a limb with these guys. `;)`
