Please help a "non-techie": what are the server requirements to run H5P in a wordpress-site?

Hi there,

I'm new to H5P and very glad of a having discovered you. I'm planning my first website/blog and the easiest for me (regarding my free content) would be to embed directly from H5P.org. But I am thinking of installing H5P in the wordpress-site because I can understand that H5P.org does not guarantee avaibility and of course does not offer backups.

To decide what kind of web hosting plan should I choose, I need to know what are the server requirements so that H5P works well and what do I have to pay attention to (like php memory limit and maybe other important features). Can you please sum up this information for me?

Kind regards
Carmen

P.S. I'm interested in H5P.com for individuals and I hope Joubel can offer it in a few months.

Sorry if you thought I expect you to sum up the information everyone can read under "documentation" :-) It would help me to know how much memory limit do you recommend. I've read that some users work with 256 MB or even 512 MB. Or do you use 128 MB without any problems?

I personally use 256MB and it has been working fine for me. However, I just use my site for development purposes.

Hi Carmen, I would recommend signing up for H5P.com. It will save you a lot of time with regards to hosting your own site and maintaining your server. H5P.com is currently in beta but it should be released for the general public fairly soon.
