Keep forgetting to charge clients for their hosting renewals

Hi All

Excel?

Why don't you want to have to 'resort' to Outlook? It will do everything you need it to.

put it all in a database on your server
run a cron job (ie, php script that runs automatically same time every day) to send emails with payment instructions
do the same for anything that requires regular payments

check modernbill - it's for hosting, but don't know how well it'll automate things for you

I just set the hosting date in Outlook as a yearly recurring appointment. Set it with a 4 week reminder and send the invoice when the reminder goes off. Works ok for me, but of course if you don't use Outlook then a simple spreadsheet/text file listing each client and their renewal date is a good alternaitve. You need to get into the habit of checking the file at least once a week tho!
