Question about scripts and cron jobs

[tuxette]

Hi

I read the Terms of Service and the Acceptable Use Policy, and I was wondering if I would be allowed to host a Twitter bot that is related to my site fully?

I cannot disclose its purpose in public, but I can discuss it with x10hosting staff in case there is a way to allow me to host a bot that would run through a php script and a cron job set every ten minutes or more, if a restriction were to be placed on its execution.

Thank you

PD: Also, if the Free Hosting does not allow for that in any case, even after I explain the purpose, is there a paid hosting you offer that would allow me to host such a bot?

It would depend on the purpose of your script, however may I point you to a certain point in the Terms of Service:

* Bots\Scripts We do not allow any type of bot or script that runs constantly, free hosting is for creating a website, not for hosting your scripts.

Yes, I read the TOS, but I also read the AUP. Thing is, the bot is part of the site, a situation that, along with the AUP, leaves me with doubt about whether or not I can get permission to host it under the AUP conditions.
