# Best domain registrars in Greece

No registrar we track sells .gr, so the local string has to come from a Greek registrar licensed by EETT. Eligibility itself is not the obstacle: any natural or legal person can register a .gr or .ελ name, allocation is first come first served, and there is no cap on how many names one holder may have. What you are buying locally is access, not privilege. Greece also has a genuine second script option, .ελ, the Greek-character ccTLD, which is separate from .gr and worth registering defensively alongside it if the brand is Greek-language.

## Short answer

No registrar we track sells .gr, so the local string has to come from a Greek registrar licensed by EETT. Eligibility itself is not the obstacle: any natural or legal person can register a .gr or .ελ name, allocation is first come first served, and there is no cap on how many names one holder may have. What you are buying locally is access, not privilege. Greece also has a genuine second script option, .ελ, the Greek-character ccTLD, which is separate from .gr and worth registering defensively alongside it if the brand is Greek-language.

## Country facts

- Currency: EUR (Euro)
- Popular ccTLDs: .gr, .com.gr, .ελ
- Local presence required: no

- Support languages: Greek-language support is available only from Greek registrars. Every registrar we track supports English only.

## ccTLDs

### .gr

Greece's country code, the standard identity for Greek businesses and organisations.

- Eligibility: Open. Any natural or legal person may register, subject to declaring that the registration knowingly does not infringe third-party rights. No nationality or residency requirement.
- Notes: The registry is run by the Institute of Computer Science at FORTH; policy is set by EETT, the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission, which also publishes the licensed registrar list. First come first served is the governing rule and there is no limit on names per holder. Second-level names on EETT's list of geographical terms, and anything under .gov.gr, are reserved for government bodies.

- Registrars we track that sell it: none — we do not track a registrar selling this ccTLD, which is a gap in our coverage, not a judgement on the ccTLD

### .ελ

Greece's internationalised ccTLD in Greek characters, delegated separately from .gr.

- Eligibility: Same open eligibility as .gr, registered through the same licensed registrars.
- Notes: A distinct IANA delegation (punycode .xn--qxam), not an alias of .gr. Registering one does not give you the other.
