How to keep track of renewal dates?

[99lives]

I have maybe ~100 domains in ~10 registrants. Who knos of an effective way of keeping track of renewal dates? I've lost a few in the past.
Any advice/tip would be much appreciated

Excel and/or set reminders. Otherwise registrars send notification emails before your domains expire.

Yeah, this is the thing:
I have a lot of registrants (because of TLDs and PBNs) and different emails (because the belong to different companies I own, different projects). So sometimes I miss them, I ingore an email saying that it's gonna expire in 30 days.

I think I'll work on an excel spreadsheet and add reminders, just though maybe someone had to deal with a similar issue and had a better solution. Thanks, mate.

Use one of these 'subscription management' apps in a smart way. Probably some have a reminder function which you can config.

Just let them email you before expiry date. You get one 30 days before and then they spam you for the last 2 weeks. Put all the emails in Thunderbird or something and open it up a few times a month.

Redirect all email addresses to a main Gmail address, there make a label called "expiring domains" and make filters to collect all those emails under this same label aka filter incoming emails by sender. Check that label frequently. Labels and filters are pretty useful in Gmail, when used right. Or i guess you can do the same with Outlook or Thunderbird.

Best idea. Redirect all the emails that you use for PBN to Gmail and even label them. You can even label them to "Expiring (PBN) domains" so it's even easier for Google to figure out that you are a single owner of 100+ domains that you use as PBN. Wonderful.

My registrar starts screaming about renewal so early. But excel is your best bet.

So far, very good.

Set reminders for each one.

Here is what I do: on the first day of every month, I login to all my hosting accounts and check if there is a domain which is going to expire in the current month - if so then I renew it. Thats it

Why not just add all renewal dates to whatever calendar software you are using, this will then remind you via desktop notifications that wont disappear till you close it.
And you would be in the habit of checking the calendar each day anyway.

Obv set the dates a bit sooner than is needed

Use excel sheet with days left, below formula
=DATEDIF(TODAY(),A2,"md") and make a condition if days column are within 1-7 then colored to red, so when you open it will show you red for domains which are need to renew within 7 days...and after renew just update the expiry date on A column.
