The domain name is automatically checked by the Registry. If it is not a restricted domain name
according to the Regulation on Management and Assignment of .gr and .ελ domain names, it becomes
temporarily active within a maximum timeframe of three (3) hours and assigned after five (5) days.
The assignment declarations for domain names under the .gov.gr level or second level
domain names included in EETT’s list of geographical terms are examined by EETT within twenty days
from their submission to the Registry according to the registration conditions as described in the
Regulation. These domain names are not temporarily activated.
Registration Restrictions
Assignment declarations which are considered void according to the Article 8
of the Regulation on Management and Assignment of .gr and .ελ Domain Names are automatically rejected.
The assignment declarations for domain names under the
.gov.gr level or second
level domain names included in EETT’s list of
geographical terms are examined by EETT and they are
rejected if not complying with the registration conditions as described in the Regulation.
For the better organization of the .gr domain name space, the following
sub-domains have been created
- com.gr: for those engaging in commercial activities
- edu.gr: for educational organizations
- net.gr: for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and network providers
- org.gr: for non-profit organizations
- gov.gr: exclusively for governmental organizations
Registering under a sub-domain is not mandatory, but is recommended for
organizational reasons.
