How to setup Cron Job in GoDaddy shared hosting

[Neo]

When I had to setup cron jobs in one of my accounts, I first thought it is not possible with GoDaddy. Secondly I thought I would have to request their SSH feature which will bring my sites to another server where SSH is possible. Later I thoguht I would better have a look at their Control Panel and found out it is just a piece of cake to setup cron jobs with it.

Here is how to do it.

1. Login to your account and ho to Hosting.
2. Find cron jobs menu under Content as below and click it.

6. Again, GoDaddy Linux hosting (shared) seems having everything required by a standard website.
