What is a .gr.com domain?
A .gr.com domain is a name registered under gr.com, a private second-level namespace that CentralNic holds inside the ordinary .com zone. It is not Greece's official country code. A name such as yourbrand.gr.com is technically a third-level label. It resolves worldwide like any web address, but ICANN does not list gr.com as a top-level domain.
CentralNic, whose parent CentralNic Group plc was renamed Team Internet Group plc in September 2023, runs a family of these country-plus-.com zones on gTLD-style rules. Greece's real ccTLD is .gr, which IANA lists under ICS-FORTH GR in Heraklion, Crete.
| Attribute | .gr.com | .gr |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Private namespace under .com | Country-code top-level domain |
| Operator | CentralNic (Team Internet Group) | ICS-FORTH GR (per IANA) |
| Who can register | Anyone, no presence test | Under the Greek registry's own rules |
| Name length | 3–63 characters | Set by the Greek registry |
| Disputes | CentralNic Dispute Resolution Policy, National Arbitration Forum | Greek registry procedures |
| Sold by WebJi® | Yes, ₹2,633 first year | Not listed |
Who in India would register a .gr.com name?
.gr.com makes sense for Indian businesses with a Greek market or Greek partners who want a Greece-flavoured address without dealing with the Greek registry. It is a niche choice, and most Indian firms never need it.
- Ship-management and crew-manning agencies in Mumbai, Chennai or Kochi that serve Greek shipowners and want a partner-facing page.
- Outbound travel agents selling Santorini and Athens packages, e.g. greeceholidays.gr.com.
- Exporters to Greece such as textile, spice or granite suppliers sending a Greek-language catalogue.
- Brand owners protecting their name in a lookalike zone so nobody else can take it.
If your audience spans the whole EU rather than Greece alone, the sister namespace .eu.com costs the same and reads more broadly.

Registration and expiry rules for .gr.com
Anyone can register .gr.com with Indian contact details: CentralNic sets no Greek address, citizenship or document requirement. Terms run 1 to 10 years, DNSSEC is supported, and the registrant email must be verified, because CentralNic zones check contact addresses.
Expiry follows CentralNic's own ladder rather than the usual gTLD one. First comes a 33-day soft quarantine in which restoring the name is free. Then comes a 28-day quarantine in which a restore fee applies. Finally there are five days of PendingDelete before the name is released. Transfers use an authorisation code, can take up to six days and add a year to the term.
Should you pick .gr.com, .com or the real .gr?
Choose .com if your name is free there; use .gr.com when you want a Greece cue and cannot or do not want to meet the Greek registry's procedures. Search engines treat .gr.com as part of .com, a generic domain, so it does not geo-target Greece the way a .gr name can. Greek-language content and hreflang tags do that work.
The real .gr is the stronger local signal for a company actually trading in Greece, and WebJi® can advise on it before you order. For Indian buyers, keep the main brand on .in or .com.
Using a .gr.com name after registration
A .gr.com name takes nameservers and DNS records exactly like a .com. A Greek-language catalogue runs on shared hosting, and mail such as sales@yourbrand.gr.com works through business email. If the name currently sits with another registrar, see domain transfer.
Frequently asked questions
Is .gr.com the same as Greece's .gr domain?
No. .gr is Greece's country-code top-level domain, which IANA lists under ICS-FORTH GR. .gr.com is a private namespace that CentralNic operates under the .com zone. The two have separate rules, prices and dispute processes, and owning one gives no rights to the other.
Does a .gr.com website rank better in Greece?
Not because of the ending. Google reads .gr.com as part of .com, which carries no country signal. To reach searchers in Greece, publish Greek-language pages, add hreflang tags for el-GR and earn links from Greek sites.
How are disputes over a .gr.com name settled?
Through the CentralNic Dispute Resolution Policy (CDRP), administered by the National Arbitration Forum. It works much like the UDRP used for gTLDs: a trademark holder files a complaint, and a panel can order transfer or cancellation.
Can I restore a .gr.com name after it expires?
Yes, within limits. For 33 days after expiry the restore is free. For the next 28 days it is still possible but carries a fee. After five days of PendingDelete the name is released to anyone. Auto-renew avoids the whole sequence.
What is the shortest .gr.com name allowed?
Labels must be at least three characters and at most 63, using letters, digits and inner hyphens. Two-letter names such as ab.gr.com are not available as standard registrations.
