Can you check how long a Domain is registered for?

Hi. I want to register CocoComics.com, but someone already registered. I wouldn't want to be rude and snatch it up before they renewed, but I was curious. Is it possible to check how long the domain is registered for, so that you could figure out when it expires?!

just do a whois on it.

"registration-expiration: 05-Apr-2005"

sorry, you have a bit of a wait ;)

heh. Thanks for that. I'm kinda new at the whole domain name stuff. Maybe I'll just go with .net instead. :rolleyes2
