 * I am getting this error on my website [http://www.kitwebster.com](http://www.kitwebster.com)
 * Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 19660800) (tried to allocate 122880 bytes)
   in /home/kitweb/public_html/wp-includes/vars.php on line 90
 * I have ben told its because my server is too weak. Its [http://www.ventraip.com](http://www.ventraip.com)
   and I should transfer to something like digital ocean.
 * The strange thing is the website doesnt host much content, its mainly off site
   on flickr and vimeo.
 * Is there a way I can fix this error? Or an easy way to migrate to a new server?
 * Thank you

 * How much memory do you currently have allocated in PHP? Can you create an info.
   php file with this code in it?
 * <?php
    // Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL phpinfo(); ?>
 * Normally, if you are getting an error the hosting provider should be able to 
   look it up in the logs and tell you exactly what’s wrong.

 * If you’re confident to jump into your wp-config.php file via FTP or your Cpanel
   you can search for a code like this
 * // Set initial default constants including WP_MEMORY_LIMIT, WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT,
   WP_DEBUG, WP_CONTENT_DIR and WP_CACHE.
    define(‘WP_CACHE’, true); define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’,’
   96M’); define(‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);
 * If you find this code add a higher number to increase your memory. If you can’t
   find this code – copy and paste it into your wp-config.php file and that should
   fix it 🙂

 * Ive found out that for some reason there are these core dump files being created
   in my root directory which is eating up my bandwidth. I have no idea where they
   come from, some are saying its a server issue but this happened a few months 
   ago and they didnt resolve it, im hoping they can resolve it!

 * Core dumps are not good as they do eat up disk space very quickly. This however
   can be either a server issue or a plugin. Some debugging needs to take place.
