No. You need shell access to run cron jobs and most pay hosts require that you fax them your drivers license before they will give you shell access even if you already have an account. I'm not even aware of any freehosts that are going to allow you run a server side script let alone a cron job.

CPanel is used for for hosting accounts to configure stuff such as e-mail accounts and other things. Again I don't think there's any free ones that would have that. I guess they could on limited basis but I don't see the point.
