   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.

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.
