Run bash script from webhost

Shell Programming and Scripting

If I have a script like this:

while true
do
wget www.***.com >> file
sleep 3600
done

Is it possible to upload it to a webhost and have it run indefinitely.

I have a hostgator account. How do I do this?

Well does your web hosting have a cron application that you can use ?
It depends, cause not all of them give you the option to run cron jobs. If you can, and you have a cron job with your web hosting plan, you can run the script with a cron ..
