Default Retrieving your expired domain

You will usually get 40 days grace (depending on the type of domain [.co.uk is the best]). So unless it expired a long time ago you should still be able to retrieve it by paying the renewal fee.

There are a couple of tools that you might be able to use (depending on how long ago it expired)
DNS Tools - try typing in your domain name and then look for: 'registrar of record'
Traceroute, Ping, Domain Name Server (DNS) Lookup, WHOIS - type on your domain name and get info on who owns, and who registered your domain name.
Registrar of RecordIf this fails

You could also try to locate your domain information by searching your old emails for a reminder message from your domain company. All Domain companies are required by ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) to remind it's customers to keep it's account information up to date. The email usually have a subject name like this : Action require. Important information about your domain name. You should find it if you have not deleted your old mails. I hope this helps. By the way in the future you might want to copy and paste this information in a folder and save it for future reference.
