Creating cron on third party server

Any idea on how to create a cron on a third party web server?

The goal is to allow me to send weekly emails to subscribers.

Or is there a PHP way to code the functionality into the website?

One way I can think of right now is to have a webpage with javascript that will refresh weekly, calling the email_subscribers function.
But that doesn't feel right somehow.

How does free forum boards handle subscriptions via daily/weekly emails?

Do you have shell access to the server or only FTP access? Have you checked the Control Panel to see of you can schedule scripts to run?
