#3For DNS:
For my own domains, they auto-renew. They will pester me through email and phone if my CC expires.
For work domains, they also auto-renew and a CSM will tell us if the root servers changed without the registrar changing anything.
For SSL:
For my own certs, I use a little script to ensure LetsEncrypt is doing it's thing. This is the manual version. (sanity check)
#!/bin/bash
set -o posix
set -u
for domain in $(cat /opt/haproxy/sslhosts.txt)
do
echo -en "\n${domain}:\t"
echo | openssl s_client -servername "${domain}" -connect "${domain}":443 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -dates | grep After
For work SSL certs, the registrar will also tell us if SSL certs are not set to auto-renew and our monitoring software will alert on certs about to expire.Re: Ask HN: How do you track your domains for expiration?
#4I've used https://dnmin.com for about 6 years now. It's a free service I found on lowendtalk.com
You can paste in a list of your domains and it'll help you organize them and send you email notifications when they're close to expiring.

#5Auto renew for the domains I want to make sure are renewed. Anything else is error prone.
