Can a cron job be set to run every hour at 5 minutes after the hour?

Yes - you can specify the minute value as 5, and leave the rest as wildcards:

5 * * * *

This cron job will run every hour at 5 minutes after the hour. For example, it will run at 1:05, 2:05, 3:05, and so on. You can use this cron job to schedule tasks that need to run regularly, such as backing up your website or sending out email notifications.

Here is another example of a cron job that runs every hour at 5 minutes after the hour:

* */1 * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/script.php

This cron job is similar to the first one, but it uses a different syntax. The */1 in the third field indicates that the cron job should run every hour. The 5 in the fourth field indicates that the cron job should run 5 minutes after the hour. The /usr/bin/php /path/to/script.php in the fifth field indicates the command that should be run when the cron job is triggered.

You can use cron jobs to schedule a wide variety of tasks. For more information on how to use cron jobs, please refer to the documentation for your operating system.
