What Is A CRON Job And How Do I Use It?

A cron job is a task that you schedule for the server to run at whatever time you want. This can be used to have the server run repetitive tasks that you would otherwise have to do yourself.

In order to setup a cron job simply login to your Control Panel and click on 'Cron jobs' under the advanced section. There are two options for you to use to set them up, the 'standard' method is recommended for those unfamiliar with cron jobs and the advanced is for those familiar with setting them up via a unix style string.
