[dns-operations] Monitoring for impending expiration of domains?

[Lyle Giese]

Yea, put them on auto renew via a credit card and change credit cards or 
the card expires.  Now how many places was the old card used and it 
might be a year before it comes around to bite us. And then accounting 
doesn't know who used that card and who has access to that place to 
change the card.  It's just a big rat hole to fall into no matter how 
you slice it in a company.

I personally hate auto-renew for these reasons and make sure my contact 
email is always current.

But that's just me.
