Second level domains
There are eight official second level domains:
- com.gr: for those engaging in commercial activities.
- edu.gr: for educational institutions.
- net.gr: Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and network providers.
- org.gr: non-profit organizations.
- gov.gr: exclusively for governmental organizations.
- mil.gr: exclusively for military purposes.
- mod.gr: Ministry of Defence
- sch.gr: local education authorities, schools, primary and secondary education, community education.
There are some other not official second level domains that belong to registrars offering third level domain name registrations.
- co.gr: for commercial use (extremely rare use).[1]
Alternative top domain
Greece has applied for the top domain .ελ, for usage with web addresses in the Greek alphabet. This was in April 2011 turned down by ICANN because it was too visually similar to .EA in latin letters, since ICANN worries that people who can't read Greek could be fooled into copy sites with visually similar domain names [2].
