Web-based or online cron jobs are used for two main reasons. First, you want to automate something you do often or infrequently so you don't forget. Second, you might have a CPU-intensive script or program to run, and you want to do it when site traffic is low. Cron services aren't always available on free (and sometimes paid) web hosting services, and furthermore crontab is a real headache to set up and run correctly. If you don't have cron on your hosting account or don't want to write a crontab entry, then Cronless makes it EASY to set up a cron job online!


Why Set Up a Cron Job?

You might set up a cron job to:

  • Back up a database.
  • Reset game data, like gold stashes, monsters, buildings, etc. on a regular basis.
  • Ensure an RSS feed is always up to date.
  • Run monthly billing scripts.
  • Automate your tweets.
  • Perform cleanup tasks on a site.
  • Whatever you need!

Website Monitoring

What is it worth to you to know when your website goes down? Would you like to be notified mere MOMENTS after it happens? How about when your email servers stop responding? Cronless offers a premium monitoring service where we can alert you if your site or server is offline moments after it goes offline. Our site monitoring also offers uptime percentage and outage count, along with a website badge you can post to brag to your customers about your reliability.
