I have a web service that needs to run at 12:00 am ever night. Instead of creating a windows service is there an external service paid or free that I can use to issue a GET to a URL I specify at a specific time every day?

A:
relying on a third party to handle the kind of operation you've described doesn't sound like a good idea to me
why not create a schedule task in windows to execute a wget on your url. added bonus your service url doesn't need to be public. depending on what your service does, you might run into problems if that url happens to get hit at a time other than 12:00

http://www.alertfox.com - includes a free service. Special about that service is that you can run complete sequences e. g. you can create a "transaction sensor" that can login to our website first. I recommend that for security
