Domain renewal reminder on WhatsApp
Updated .
A domain renewal reminder on WhatsApp is a yearly message a few weeks before your domain expires, so you can check that renewal will actually go through. With Mindie, send "every year on 1 March at 10am remind me that example.com renews on 31 March, check the card on file" and it comes back every year.
Losing a domain is rarely about forgetting to pay. Auto-renew is on, but the card expired last year, the registrar's warning went to an old email address, and one morning the website and email stop working.

A month before renewal
On renewal day, to confirm
For a certificate you renew by hand
When to set it
- A month before renewal, to check the card, the contact email and auto-renew.
- On the renewal day, to confirm it went through.
- For each domain and certificate, with its own date. Freelancers managing client sites usually have several.
Why domains lapse
- Once a year is invisible. Nobody remembers which month each domain renews.
- Cards expire. The card on the registrar account is the one that expired two years ago.
- Emails go to the wrong place. Renewal warnings go to a developer who left or an inbox nobody reads.
Habits that protect your domains
- Keep a domains list. Domain, registrar, renewal date and who owns the account, in one list Mindie keeps.
- Renew for more than a year for domains that matter; fewer renewals, fewer chances to slip.
- Check the contact email on each renewal reminder.
How Mindie handles it
Send one yearly reminder per domain or certificate. Mindie confirms the date and messages you every year. Add domains to a list and ask for it whenever you need the full picture.
What Mindie doesn't do
- It doesn't renew domains or connect to registrars.
- It doesn't monitor sites or certificates. It reminds you on the dates you give it.
Questions
My domain auto-renews. Do I still need a reminder?
It's worth it. Auto-renewal fails when the card on file expires or the registrar's email goes to spam. A reminder a month before lets you check.
Can I track domains for several clients?
Yes. Set one yearly reminder per domain, and keep a list of domains with their renewal dates and registrars.
Does Mindie monitor my website?
No. It reminds you on the dates you give it; it doesn't check whether a site is up.
How early should I be reminded?
A month before gives you time to fix an expired card or a wrong email. Add a second reminder a week before.
Can I save the registrar with the reminder?
Yes. Write "mysite.com renews on 3 May at my registrar", so you know where to log in. Don't send your password.
