Whois domain registration database?

I am attempting to restart a site I closed down a few years ago, but my domain appears to have be off limits temporarily,

"This domain is parked, pending renewal, or has expired.

Please contact the domain provider with questions."

It does not look like it is being used at all.

I looked up the domain in the Whois database and here is what I receive.

Can anyone tell me how to identify the information I am looking for?

Is there any way for me to reobtain this domain?

Which date is the expiration date for it?

Thanks


Record expired on 2009/3/3

This says that the domain name expired on 3/3/09. Unfortunately right now there's nothing you can do. All you can really do is sit and wait. Sometimes it could take a long time for domain names to be available for registration again. For example, I registered a domain name and let it expire in October or September, it's going to be available for registration sometime in early April.

Another thing you could /try/ is contacting ICANN and asking them when it would be available for registration again. If they'll tell you.

It looks like someone bought the domain on 3 March 2008, updated it on 6 March 2009 and owns the domain until at least 3 March 2010. Sorry mate, you're not going to be able to get this domain back...unless you are the one in the UK.
