RE: Domain Expiration?

Hi Keith,

The record I had there can come from just about any whois
lookup.  I usually use:

http://betterwhois.com/

Type in the domain name such as thisname.com into the box
and hit "search".  It'll give you a record stating the
owner, how they can be contacted, etc.

Hope this helps,
Gina
