Porkbun early auto renew (45 days if I'm not mistaken) works better instead, and various domain name providers should have similar features.

#12What exactly is this doing? Expiry notifications are offered by pretty much every registry already? Nameserver management also confuses me. Is this centralizing DNS from all providers or just the NS records?

It's an ICANN requirement. They all do it.

#13My guess is the author uses a terrible and abusive registrar and isn’t aware that not all registrars are terrible and abusive.
My guess is the author is a "domainer" (i.e. someone who manages a large portfolio of domains for resale) and doesn't realize that their needs are atypical.

Or park with a decent grace period. Resellerclub gives me 60 days after expiry.

That's a fair observation. The product is definitely more useful for people managing dozens or hundreds of domains than for someone with a handful of domains on a single registrar.
I built it because I found myself dealing with domains spread across multiple registrars, each with different interfaces and workflows. The goal isn't to replace registrar features like auto-renewal, but to reduce the operational overhead of managing a larger portfolio from one place.
