If the hosting plan doesn't include cron jobs and you don't want to pay
twice as much for a little site, then IMHO triggering such jobs from the
outside is acceptable.

On some of the sites that I maintain I use this to update their access
statistics. The client's hosting plan doesn't include cron jobs, so my
own local server (24/7) calls the AWStats update script on these sites
every few hours. Pretty simple, cheap and reliable, as long as my own
DSL link doesn't go down. But in this case it's only about statistics.
