Cron Jobs? Which Webhost Has Handled Them the Easiest and Best For You?

Chris Hunter · 10-25-2011, 09:04 AM

Looking at using some of the software/plugins that I have for some sites that I have and they use Cron jobs.

What webhost have you used that has handled Cron jobs the best and easiest?

Love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!

Chris

Nearly any Linux host offers cron jobs. I use Hostgator shared and they're ok. But crons can only be run once every 15 minutes.

For aggressive crons, I use my VPS at WiredTree.

Thanks for the info, Jesus! Wasn't aware that Hostgator limited the time limit for Cron jobs, not that I'd need anything to run more often than every 15 minutes.

Never heard of WiredTree. I'll take a look at them.

Thanks!
