About the .GR domain
What is the .GR domain?
.gr domain registration can be assigned to any natural or legal person, Greek or foreign, established in Greece or not. There is no need to prove residency or go through additional administrative procedures beyond the standard registration process: the only practical condition is having a valid, verifiable postal address. Certain second-level subdomains, such as .gov.gr and .edu.gr, are restricted to eligible entities — government bodies or accredited educational institutions — which must provide proof of eligibility, such as official accreditation documents. The registry also supports domain names in the Greek alphabet, under the .ελ extension.
