Hello there!

I’m looking for an App or Software or any service that can help me in remembering the domain renewal and hosting for my client? Is there any?

Would be great if it is free to use initially?

    Cron job that shutsdown your hosted system and sends you an email to help prompt you to do it, and it’s free to use forever.

    0 0 15 12 * /bin/bash -c 'echo "System will shutdown in solidarity with Domain X needing to be renewed." | mail -s "Renew your domain asshole" your_email@example.com && /sbin/shutdown -h +15'
    
    

    Update 15 for day, 12 for month (this goes off on Dec 15th)

    I hope this wasn’t too cheeky, an app seems overkill here.

    Edit: if you prefer a paid service,

    0 0 15 12 * /bin/bash -c 'echo "System will shutdown in solidarity with Domain X needing to be renewed. You have 2 more uses before you lose your free status and are billed 10.95 monthly for our monitoring service." | mail -s "Renew your domain asshole" your_email@example.com && /sbin/shutdown -h +15'

    Other than the obvious Outlook/Google calendar reminder I use Hetrix tools for uptime monitoring and they also offer domain and SSL cert expiration monitoring. My registrar will also email me before it expires.
