Expirify seems like a great service. Judging by the responses here, "if you build it, they will come."

  I'll probably do some more customer/market research and maybe follow up with HN about the idea when I have some more validation. Thanks :)

Expirify sounds like it could be a useful little app.

  Thanks! I'll do some more research and see if it's something will pay for...
  - Fogest 12y ago
    Yeah I'm not sure if a pay model would really work with this kind of thing.
    - simonswords82 12y ago
      I agree. If it's not possible to monetise it in wouldn't build it unfortunately.

Expirify... I wonder how you'd fair by crawling, finding SSL certs that are going to expire in X days/months, looking up their email in the WHOIS and emailing them a reminder to renew and include a URL to the same company they originally purchased it from but include an affiliate link when possible. I guess the issues are that a) It's kind of spammy and b) The people purchasing SSL cert's might also by the type of people who don't follow random links in emails.

  Hey thanks for the feedback. There are already a great many companies out there who monitor expiry dates of domains and SSLs; their “slant” is that they send you renewal emails based on renewing the service with them at their inflated fee. Or even reasonable fee, but the idea being that they are capturing business. Whilst they might defend that it is clear who they are and you should know who you bought your domains/SSL through, the fact is that by sending someone an official looking email there are plenty of “oh shit don’t want to lose that, best renew…” I'd be nervous about getting a name as a bit of a scammy company. I also think that I'd rather people opted in to a service that they derive value from. We could of course still sell domain name renewal and SSL certs most likely by partnering with a domain registrar. All food for thought...
