Renewals register

A fill-in register for everything a website renews, with the provider, account owner, who pays, renewal date, cost and cycle, auto-renew and sites for each, one row per item.

Optional / Field notes

Stay ready between emergencies.

One short email per new guide. No spam, unsubscribe in one click.

How to use them

Print, fill in, keep it offline.

  1. Print it now

    On a calm day, not during the emergency. Each checklist fits on one page.

  2. Fill in the notes

    Write down your host, registrar, backup location and who to call while you can still look them up.

  3. Keep it somewhere else

    A paper copy still works when your site, your email or your laptop does not.
