A segmentation fault occurs when a process tries to access memory that the CPU cannot physically address.

This means that when you are trying to start phantomjs, you could maybe don't have enough RAM on the server you are renting from them.

I would try increasing your RAM so that your process has more memory to access.

EDIT when l run phantomjs on linux ubuntu 12.04 machine, from checking its memory usage, it averages across all the processes is creates, about 0.7GB - 1.1GB of RAM usage.
