I've voted this question as off-topic because not only are you definitely not an administrator, but ignoring that, the question is lazy and badly researched. — Dan, Nov 03 '13 at 15:41

That error is extremely clear, and I question how much time you have spent thinking about it. The core message reads:

Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'

So it's clearly a problem with this line in particular:

<compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0"/>

The last line of the error message makes it very obvious there is a discrepancy here:

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.5472; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.5474

Fundemantlly, your AppPool is wrong a different .NET level than your development environment. You could try changing this, asking your provider to change this or you could try removing that line, changing 4.0 to 2.0 or perhaps simply Googling the problem.
