Setting Up Cronjobs For GoDaddy Hosting

Cronjobs is a schedule command/task that is executed on your server to run automatically at a specified time and date. A cronjob is a schedule task itself and it is very useful to automate repetitive tasks. For example, it allows email processing to run independently while not interfering with site operations. It is recommended in Komento to use cronjobs to parse emails as well as sending out notifications.

Configuration

Setting up cronjobs in GoDaddy is relatively easy. All you'll need to do is to login to your GoDaddy account and launch web hosting.
