are two places to look. For instance I plugged in my domainname referenced in the below email
Expiration Date:08-Aug-2010 20:13:17 UTC
Sponsoring Registrar:Tucows Inc. (R11-LROR)
Tech Email:hostmaster@ipowerweb.com
Name Server:NS1.IPOWERWEB.NET
Name Server:NS1.IPOWERDNS.COM
(Tucows is who Ipowerweb uses to purchase domain names)
