Note that we do not allow to run crontabs every single minute on our shared hosting servers and that any crontab may get restricted if it causes issues (see our TOS)
Crontab has a few more complex notations like:
*/5 * * * * command
which means that the crontab needs to start any '5th' minute on the system the command needs to run
or
0 10 * * 0,2,4,6 command
which means that at 10:00 on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday the command needs to run
