Your Questions About Web Hosting

Help needed with CRONTAB on linux shared hosting. How do I access the CRONTAB?

I have a job that needs to run on a daily basis. My server is a shared hosting server which means I cannot see any files other than my own. I have various CGI scripts running within my own area of the server.
To edit the CRONTAB I need to know how to access it. Where is it? I do not have any tools available to activate a LINUX based command line or direct access to the cgi-bin.

Do I need a script? Access to the server? or just a plain miracle.

I have contacted my host and they keep sending instructions. But most assume a level of knowledge of LINUX beyond the realms of normal Windows people.

Please don’t copy and paste web pages that state ‘Access the crontab -e” – I think I have read them all and still do not know what on earth they are talking about when looking at my server/control panel.

how can i find out if my yahoo web hosting plan is windows or linux server?

I am creating a website in the .net framework, but searching my control panel and all of yahoo help, I can’t find the answer.

What shared Linux web hosting service would you recommend beside GoDaddy?

I’ve bought the “Ultimate” shared Linux web hosting plan along with a few domain names from GoDaddy back in February, but since then I’ve had so many problems with them:

• FTP is incredibly slow at times (ex: can take up to 1 min. before it validates my login)

• Absolutely all of the operations done in the control panel are marked as “Pending” once started, until “something somewhere” executes the task (ex: MySQL database backups takes up to 6 hours to be executed, against 10s from phpMyAdmin)

• The response time for some of my hosted websites can can go as high as 15 seconds before it loads the welcoming page.

• Their support team takes me for a retarded noob, while I consider myself as an IT guy and I clearly know how to work up everything that’s in my control.

The reason why I choose GoDaddy is because I heard and read good reviews about it, and I also needed something that would allow me to register .CA domains and have web hosting in the same package/account.

I am kinda sick of them, just last night when I was trying to work on one of my websites, the domain would not load up at all, while the FTP server worked “properly”.

Can someone recommend me and/or share his/her experience with another shared Linux web hosting service in the same price range? (I paid $120 for 1-year Ultimate plan) I don’t care about the support team being dumb, in general all support teams are. Ideally, if it could also support .CA domain names it would be perfect, but it’s not a requirement.

I went on a few review sites, but they are all contradictory, and it’s evident that many reviews are biased or made by specific companies to make their competitors look bad.
