Go to CPanel of your hosting and in the menu Advanced you can see a section called Cron jobs, push on it.
Set when you want it to work, the period of time, by common settings you will understand how it works. The command run by the cron job must be a valid command.
So here are some methods which could work:
wget -O /dev/null http://www.yoursitename.com/cron.php >/dev/null
GET http://www.example.com/cron.php > /dev/null
or just put the document root path to file and it should work as you may not have the permissions to run some commands:
/home/YOURUSER/public_html/cron.php
