Best Web Hosting (quick, cron jobs, eCommerce)

I've used FatCow for years now and its been a pretty good experience with them besides the down times every so often, but now as I have downloaded Back Link Energizer it asks for me to do Cron Jobs, which FatCow doesn't support. Does anyone have any information on a host which would allow cron jobs but is also very reputable?

Hostwinds is a great company. I have been with them for over a year and all I have to say is one word, Awesome!
The support is very prompt, no downtime, cpanel, a lot of scripts... I highly recommend Going with hostwinds.

I've used JustHostMe for years and can recommend them but I think most large companies and many smaller ones will allow cron jobs. It's quite standard.

I agree that Hostgator is one of the best web hosts out there.

The only drawback with HG is that crons can only be run every 10-15 minutes. So if you have a script that's trying to run a cron every minute, it's going to be throttled back.

This limitation only applies to shared hosting. VPS and dedicated plans don't have cron limits.

Thanks

Hostgator is garbage:

I have no idea why people still suggest that in 2013. It's terrible. It's not even the same "Hostgator" anymore, not since summer 2012, and is nothing more than an EIG brand now. There are better hosts.

There are better hosts.

Not supporting cron jobs is ridiculous. Any standard cPanel host can handle this.

I'd suggest Stablehost or Veerotech. If you want "unlimited", then use Site5 or Arvixe. There's zero reason to use crappy EIG-owned hosts. (Fatcow = Hostgator, same company).

Thanks

FAQ: Need a Site5/Arvixe/Hostgator alternative? And who is EIG?
Reviews: Need a good VPS, dedicated server, or unlimited host? (This is NOT a fake "top 10" list!)
