Content creation

 I am feeling that this great site is going to dissapear, since a lot of options are enabled. 

I can't afford for the paying option. 

I am very grateful for this free service during these years. 

But at the same time I feel very upset. In this terrible moment  without personal teaching, this tool has become a very important part of me.

Thank you for the service.

Hi Ibone!

H5P is still free and will remain free. You can download H5P and install it on your own server running WordPress, Drupal, moodle, ILIAS, Typo3 etc. without paying anything! However, this site (h5p.org) was never intended to provide the world with a free hosting service.

Please see a recent answer by the H5P core team:

H5P.org has constantly been timing out and crashing lately making authors like you loose all their unsaved work. H5P runs on a single cheap server and is not designed to scale and facilitate content creation for the entire world through the Corona crisis. We've been getting more and more complaints from users not able to access H5P.org at all because of all the traffic, so turning on content types so that content creators can bring the site down again won't help anyone unfortunately.

Cheers,
Oliver
