cron jobs

free server?

[WhosAWhata]

My host does not support cron jobs,
i doubt it, but is there any site that offers free cron jobs (ie: at 12:00 it will just open a page on my site)?

i would be very appriciative for any information regarding this topic

As opposed to moving host you might want to condider using an alternative to a standard cron.

A search on Google for "fake cron" should provide some usefull information.

There are some scripts that act as a cron, but are installed at wwwroot (as with webpages)

i didn't intend to imply i wanted to swith hosts, i was simply asking if other sites would execute a script on your current server or something similar.

i'll take a look at what you suggested as well, i'm open to anything right now because i would prefer to keep my current host

You could have another site open a local iframe page with the content of the iframe being the page you want run once a day from the other server. As long as you had access to that page, and the site had access to cron jobs, you'd be set I think.

the problem is, i don't have access to any servers that support cron jobs

Think about getting a real web hosting company, it's worth it, I used to use bad ones but not anymore, it's just not worth not being able to do what I want.

You can get excellent packages for about $15-20 a month currently that will do everything, including letting you host multiple sites on the account, sticky me and I'll suggest a good one.
