Subscriptions & Vendors

Subscriptions & Vendors

Every paid (or paid-tier) service that keeps the site and backends running. The Vendor and Powers columns are seeded from the codebase; the billing columns are the work — fill them in.

💳

When a company credit card changes, work this page top to bottom. Update the card on every vendor with auto-renew/auto-pay, starting with the ones whose lapse takes the site down (hosting, DNS/CDN, domains, payments). A single missed card is how hellobellocdn.com went dark.

How to read the table

  • Tier — 🔴 outage if it lapses · 🟡 degraded/feature loss · 🟢 nice-to-have.
  • Billing owner / Card / Renewal / Login — TODO until a human confirms. Don’t guess these.

Likely missing / to confirm: ipstack, Returnly, Brightback (all referenced in subscriptions-api), any managed-database provider, email/Google Workspace, and whatever powers the media.hellobellocdn.com origin store. Audit each app’s .env / integration list and add rows.
