About .gr

.gr is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Greece. It is managed by ICS-FORTH GR, part of the Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas, based in Heraklion, Crete. The registry supports registration of .gr names for individuals and organizations. There are no strict residency requirements, but registrants must have a local representative or administrative contact in Greece. Second-level domains under .gr are open to anyone, while some specialized subdomains like .edu.gr or .gov.gr have eligibility restrictions. The domain was registered in the IANA root zone on February 19, 1989, making it one of the older ccTLDs. Over the years it has been operated by the same technical team at ICS-FORTH, which also runs the authoritative name servers.

Eligibility & restrictions

Registrants need a local administrative contact in Greece. Some subdomains like .edu.gr are restricted to eligible entities.
