.GR Domain Syntax Rules Greece FAQ - Can I register domain names containing Greek characters, such as ????????????????????????.gr ?
- Registering domain names containing Greek characters is permitted since 4/7/2005 (07.00 utc). The names registered may contain all Greek characters and alternative punctuations (including perispomeni, dasia, ypogegrammeni, etc). With the submission of the domain name's punctuated form by the user, the equivalent unpunctuated lower case name is also activated and without any additional costs, which is considered the main form of the registered domain name on which the Registry's checks take place. In case the submitted application is for an unpunctuated domain name the user does not have the right to a cost-free activation of a punctuated domain name.
- How many characters can a Domain Name have?
- The Variable Field of a [.gr] Domain Name must include no less than three (3) characters and, in conjunction with its Non-variable Field, it can include up to sixty (60) characters. The above limits do not include the .gr characters. In the case of Domain Names including Greek alphanumeric characters, the sixty-character length pertains to the length of the PUNYCODE format of the Domain Name, which however, shall not be necessarily equal to the number of characters in the Greek version of the Domain Name.
