However if you really are completely stuck and have no choice but to host it in your WebApp,

You could look at creating a System.Timers.Timer instance in your Global.asax.cs file. Wire up a Elapsed event as you normally would, and give it some code that does something along the lines of

protected void myTimer_Elapsed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if(System.DateTime.Now Falls in Some Configured Time-Window)
        //Do Stuff
}
