The .gr domain is registered as the country-specific top-level domain of Greece -this extension is a country code top-level domain, abbreviated ccTLD. Officially the .gr top-level domain was introduced in 1989. Since then it is possible to buy and register this kind of top-level domain. The Greek registry FORTH with headquarter in Heraklion manages all registered .gr domains.
Originally exclusively Greek individuals were allowed to get personal .gr domains but since August 2004 the guidelines were overhauled and now every webmaster and administrator in the whole world is able to buy his own .gr domain.

Due to the fact that the Greek registry FORTH still process most of the domain registrations in paper form, it is very difficult to give an exact number of registered domains. So far the competent registry in Greece hasn't published any statistics about the .gr domain. Since August 2004 the domain can be registered worldwide - therefore, you should buy and register your preferred .gr domains as quickly as possible before one of your competitors gets in touch. Especially if you are a private or business in the Greek room, it is highly recommended to buy and register a personal .gr domain to demonstrate your nationality in the world wide web.
