I am running version 5.5 R2 Hotfix 16 (build v5.5.4108) on .net version 4.0.30319 on a shared hosting environment. however I am getting the application is being continually restarted with this message:

Message: HostingEnvironment initiated shutdown
HostingEnvironment caused shutdown

Full error is below:

This set up runs fine on my local dev and test servers (win 7 and win 2008) and I am successfully running 5.5 and 5.5 R2 sites in .net 2.0 application pools on the same shared server. In fact the site I am trying to import is already running on the server under a different domain, this is just meant to be an upgrade to the latest hot fix and to .Net 4.0. The site is now unusable, the app is recycling even when browsing the errors in the event log!

Any thoughts from a Kentico point of view? The hosting provider thinks it is the application not the server of course :-).
