虚拟主机不支持cron作业。 如何远程运行抓取脚本以挖掘数据，然后将其发送到托管的mysql数据库？

Question

I am currently using Yahoo web hosting. I found out that Yahoo does not support cron jobs. What I want to do is run my script and feed the data it mines into Yahoo's mysql database. The script is written in PHP, takes a couple hours to complete, and I would like it to be running constantly to keep my information updated. Is it possible to run the script in my local environment and somehow send that information to the Yahoo's mysql server? Is there a free online service which would run my script for me and send the data?
