Crons Tutorial

[neronix17]

who is your host that doesnt have a cron interface? Let me look into them.

Streamline.Net
Only went with them for the unlimited bandwidth and the free domain name

so any ideas on what i can do to get it working? i had another go at google but its so confusing looking at random posts in other forums

Edit: Also, I would move to godaddy but I cant use my card. The only way I could would be using PayPal but I had paypal blocked from my account (was being charged for stuff I wasnt ordering). I only have a debit card and will never have a credit card.

i have used a debit card on godaddy. Well it has the visa log, but debit card none the less.

EDIT: any other hosting sites you can suggest?

I was looking around. I have found that x10 hosting has a free package for ssi and cron. Can't remember how much space they have though. Yes I know that free hosting is not good. I have not tried these out. I will have to.

some free hosting might not be bad. Not going to say ALL is bad.

Nothing wrong with free web-hosts if you find one with the right features, Im waiting on my account on one of them to be activated (within 24hrs my ass), it has all the things Il need for my game to work ^_^

isnt x10 a sub section for the people who also run 000hosting or what ever it is?

i was reading on their site about other 'trusted sites' or summert. and there were serveral companies with different names. but offered an exact replica that 000 offered. looked into one of them (im sure it was summert similar as the above name) and it turned out to be just another name for the hosting company who run 000.

For us doing the tutorial...

does wamp server offer an option for crons?

Id like to get everything up and running before I pay for any web hosting you know?

a cron is just a script that is ran at different times. Windows scheduler is that i use to run my local cron jobs .. but most servers run crons .. you can test it by simply running it .. and then setting it up as a cron job once you have webspace/package.
