I have gotten to a point in a project where I need the server to run a script (ideally in php, because that's what I know) at regular intervals (like every hour, or less if possible).

How do I go about that? Is it just as simple as, either the hosting company offers that service or it doesn't? Edit: And if it is just the hosting company, can anyone suggest a good hosting company that's either free or cheap, and offers that?
