RenewRoster is a domain and SSL expiry tracker built for web agencies and client-service teams. It keeps every client’s domains and TLS certificates in one list, watches the renewal dates that matter, sends reminders before anything lapses, and produces a monthly renewals report you can turn into billing. The product is at https://renewroster.com and first went live around 21 October 2026. It is deliberately not uptime monitoring: it tracks renewal dates for domains and certificates, not whether a site is currently reachable.
Who it is for is the agency pattern. Web studios, managed WordPress shops, freelancers who still hold a roster of client domains, and internal IT teams that act like an agency for many brands all share the same failure mode: expiry dates live in registrar emails, spreadsheets, and someone’s memory until a certificate or domain quietly runs out. When a domain lapses, the client’s site and email can go down, and the agency often gets the angry call even when the client owns the registrar account. When certificates expire, browsers show warnings and checkout or login flows break. RenewRoster is aimed at people who need one operational list, branded client reminders, and a report of what is due and who pays—not another generic “website monitor.”
The industry timing makes the job harder every year. Public TLS certificate lifetimes are shortening: toward 200 days in 2026, 100 days in 2027, and 47 days by 2029, as described on RenewRoster’s own site. A spreadsheet that was barely workable on yearly certs does not keep up with multi-renewal cycles per year across dozens or hundreds of client hosts. Domains still renew on longer cycles, but mixing domain and certificate dates in one place is exactly where agency operations break. RenewRoster counts domains and certificates together toward plan limits so the roster stays unified.
Core features start with that single list. You can import a CSV; RenewRoster then finds each expiry date, registrar, and certificate issuer automatically where public data allows. It does not ask for registrar logins. For domains it reads public RDAP and WHOIS records. For certificates it connects to each site and reads the certificate the host actually serves. TLDs with RDAP (all gTLDs and most ccTLDs) are supported, with WHOIS fallback for others such as .io, and anything else can be entered manually. That design keeps credentials out of the tool while still giving agencies a living inventory.
Pricing is freemium. Free forever covers five domains plus certificates, domain and SSL expiry tracking, team alerts (email, Slack, Discord, webhook), and REST API, webhooks, and MCP at 60 requests per minute. Starter is $15 per month (or $75 per year under the founding offer plus Black Friday deal of 50% off annual plans, applied automatically at checkout) for 50 domains plus certificates, the same tracking and alerts, API/webhooks/MCP at 300 requests per minute, white-label client reminders, and the monthly renewals report in CSV/PDF. Agency is $39 per month (or $195 per year on that same annual discount) for 250 assets and team members. Scale is $99 per month (or $495 per year on the discount) for 1,000 assets and team members. Prices are in USD via Razorpay; customers in India can pay in INR on published monthly and yearly figures plus GST, with UPI Autopay, card, or netbanking. Plans can be upgraded or cancelled anytime. The freemium reason is operational: five assets prove the workflow on a real client subset before an agency commits budget, while API and MCP on Free mean automation is not locked behind a paywall for evaluation.
