I have my own web site on Host Gator. Host Gator provides
services such as CGI scripting, Cron jobs, Perl scripts, FTP,
and much more.

Does anyone know if it's possible to compile and run C++
programs in my own web space? My goal is to run a C++
program that generates new HTML files every day at a
specific time. I hoping that the Cron service can run my
C++ executable on a schedule.

Does anyone know if any of this possible? How?

If your service provider provides a server dedicated to you
then you can run C++ on it. If the server is shared with others
then no. Or at least so I assume reading

Ask that from support guys of your service provider.
