Domain checker: is the name you want still free?
Enter your business name or a domain. We ask the registries for .gr, .com.gr, .com, .eu, .net and .org and show you which are free and which someone already holds.
- No sign-up
- Six endings in one search
- Expiry and registrar, where published
We only ask the public registries. We don't hold or reserve any name.
What the domain checker checks
Every ending (.gr, .com, .eu) has its own registry that knows which names are taken. The checker asks those registries about the name you entered, across the endings businesses in Greece usually buy.
For names someone already holds, we show whether they open a website and, where the registry publishes it, since when they're registered, when they expire and with which registrar.

Free or taken for every ending, with or without a website, and when it expires where we know.
When to check a domain
Before you pick a name
For a new practice, shop or company, check the domain is free before you print cards or a sign.

See whether the holder uses it, when it expires and which other ending is still free.
To protect your brand
See whether the variations of your own domain (.com, .eu, .com.gr) are still free before someone else takes them.

About your business domain
How sure is it that a .gr is free?
For .gr and .com.gr we ask the .gr registry's nameservers. If they don't know the name, nobody is using it and it's almost always free. Some names the registry has reserved don't show there, which is why we mark them “probably free”. For .com, .net, .org and .eu the answer comes straight from the registry.
.gr or .com for a business in Greece?
If your customers are in Greece, .gr is the natural choice: it says Greek business, and Google reads it as a sign that the site is meant for Greece. If the same name is free as a .com too, it's worth holding on to it so nobody else takes it.
The name I want is taken. What now?
Try a variation: with a hyphen (dr-smith), with your specialty or city (smith-dermatology, smith-dental-athens) or under another ending such as .com.gr. Don't wait for a domain that's in use to expire: owners nearly always renew.
Can I have a domain in Greek characters?
Yes, under .gr and .ελ, for example ιατρείο.gr. Type the name in Greek and we check those two endings. Most Greek-character domains serve as a second address, because they're harder to type in emails and messages.
Where do I buy a domain?
From a registrar, a company accredited by the registry of that ending. Make sure the holder is you or your business, not whoever builds the website, so you can change provider whenever you like.
What does “taken, no website” mean?
Someone holds the domain but hasn't connected it to a server. It's usually kept for later use or to protect a brand. It isn't available while the holder keeps renewing it.
You have the name. Let's build the website.
We build fast websites for practices and businesses, with the domain in your own name, email that works and the right DNS settings from day one.
