You don’t need to have dedicated server in order to have task scheduling as a standard feature that you can access to. PHP hosting plan is now offering with cron jobs, a task scheduling feature that you can use to execute command or php script file at scheduled time or interval.
When you access to hostmonster cpanel and go to cron jobs section, you can see these message.
“Cron jobs allow you to automate certain commands or scripts on your site. You can set a command or script to run at a specific time every day, week, etc. For example, you could set a cron job to delete temporary files every week so that your disk space is not being used up by those files.”
“Warning: You need to have a good knowledge of Linux commands before you can use cron jobs effectively. Check your script with your hosting administrator before adding a cron job.“
“This is a web interface to the crontab program. It allows you to run commands at any time you specify. Enter the command you would like to run as well as running times.“
