Hi
your code is erroneous, cannot believe you evaluated it
Anyway The following code tun for almost 20 minutes and give results.
Notice that you need to increase the working precision, since the range for
eta is large, and round-off errors accumulate
s = NDSolve[{2*f[eta] + h'[eta] == 0,
f[eta]^2 + f'[eta]*h[eta] - g[eta]^2 - f''[eta] == 0,
2*f[eta]*g[eta] + h[eta]*g'[eta] - g''[eta] == 0,
f[0] == 0,
g[0] == 1,
h[0] == 0,
f[10*^100] == 0,
g[10*^100] == 0},
{f, g, h}, {eta, 0, 500000}, WorkingPrecision -> 100]
Plot[Evaluate[{f[x], g[x], h[x]} /. s], {x, 0, 500000}]
There is a sharp change in behavior, you need to check if this is valid or
an artifact
