: Run server side script on schedule for hosted asp.net application I'm in the process of deploying my first website which is written is ASP.NET. I need to run a server side script at set intervals
I'm in the process of deploying my first website which is written is ASP.NET. I need to run a server side script at set intervals during the day which updates a database even if there is nobody using the site.
I was led to believe that using Windows task scheduler would be the best option but now I've joined a hosting company the layout is not really how I was expecting. It's a shared hosting with basic FTP and no apparent built in task scheduler.
The hosting company support is not very good and haven't been able to advise how I could do this so hoped to get help here on options before I consider changing company. [The hosting company starts with 1 and ends with 1 :)]

From windows scheduler alternative for an asp.net webform application which is shared hosting on StackOverflow posted by this. __curious_geek:
You can write a windows service which will call your application url over a given period of time recurrently. Install and run this service from your personal computer or any other computer that you is mostly [almost 24x7] online.
Another way to this is use website uptime checking services. They call your URL at an interval. There are many free and paid services.

Jeff Atwood has created blog entry on this. In short:
Add an item to the cache
Make it expire on your wanted interval
Add a trigger to execute when the cache expires
Re-add your item in the trigger
