automatic activity without opening the website(cron without visitors )

is it possible to do an automatic activity in php or wordpress website(using jquery,ajax or any thing else ) without opening the website.for example ,when i register a student with his email id in my website after 5 minutes the mail need to send the student telling his registration is done by the admin .I register the student then closed my website .After 5 minutes the mail is automatically go to student.

It is possible to check the current time and registration time and if difference between current time & registration time is 5 minutes then the mail is sent .But the problem here is this is working only when the website is open or correspond page is loaded.

Create a file, in which will use to send email, execute that file via cronjob , now you want to know how the file will know to which student it will send email , the simple answer is that there must be a status field in the database having value 0 by default. when a new user registered its value will be 0 and in you cronjob file the email will sent to those whose status value is 0 . after email sent update that status to 1 so that the crone file will not send email to that student again.
