A cron job runs a script automatically on a schedule, e.g. sending newsletters or running WordPress tasks every 15 minutes.
Before you start: log in to your FariHost Client Area, go to Services → My Services, choose your hosting plan and click Login to Control Panel.
- Open the Web Tools section and choose Scheduled Tasks (Cron Jobs).
- Enter the command to run. The control panel shows the exact path to your website files, for example
php /path/to/public_html/cron.php. - Choose how often it should run, then save.
Tips
- Don't run tasks more often than needed; every 5 to 15 minutes is usually plenty.
- For WordPress, a real cron job is more reliable than WP-Cron on low-traffic sites.
