| I've had a quick hunt around the forums and through the FAQ but couldn't find anything about cron jobs. Is crontab supported with webhosting or will I have to outsource my cronjobs? |

Excellent stuff, thanks for that. My previous host didn't allow cron jobs and so I had to go to a cron website for it to periodically run certain php files, and obviously anybody monitoring my sites traffic would be able to see my cronjob.php's $_GET values used to protect it and make the whole site potentially unsecure.
Some info: The basic package (~$2) doesn't come with shell access by default (one can request for it though, i think ~$1pm). However their is a nice web interface for crontab in Cpanel and an Advanced (unix style) interface. Cron jobs work perfectly for my site, so you can surely go ahead.

Right, so the basic $2 package doesn't have shell access then but still has access to the crontab application? I'm assuming it has it's own GUI in Cpanel then? Or is it just a single line command textbox that only allows crontab input and nothing else?
Yes has useful crontab interface. Have a look at the screenshots,
