cli cron job how to set up

I am trying to set up a cron job to send daily reminder emails. My host provider is startlogic.com.
I studied the article below and several others to set up a cron job. What I am unclear is where to get the command line interface on my provider control panel. I also looked up easy cron and others. They don't give any specifics about the cron syntax.

I studied the article below but he just talks about 'the server' generally and nothing about host providers.

What am I missing?

If you have linux operating system putty is not necessary, just write the following at your terminal.

ssh user@server_domain (or ip)
