Webservice automation

[PZ]

Any suggestions on how to setup a webservice (or the surroundings) so a
certain webmethod can be called on given intervals?

Lets say I have a webmethod I want to call once each hour and I don't want
to have another PC standing around to make the call using a timer event.
I've placed my webservice on a webhotel so the only access to the webservice
is from an ASP/ASPX/HTML pages placed on the very same server.

Is it possible or even a bad idea? I could have my own server, but the
webhotel's internet connection is 20 times faster and I really need this
speed for optimal performance in the webmethod. And since the webhotel only
allows webservices/ASP/ASPX/HTML pages (as far as I know) my options are
limited to that.

Maybe a javascript timer on a web page that counts down from 3600 seconds
and invokes the web service? If so, then AJAX might be the best route.
