.gr domain bundles are the homograph variants of a name, for example with or without accents, that the Registry automatically reserves when you register a Greek domain. In this article you will learn what bundles are, what the DOMAIN and DNAME types mean, how to manage them, and why .gr bundles do not include .ελ.
What bundles are in a Greek domain
When you register a .gr or .ελ domain, the Registry automatically reserves any homograph variants of your name within the same extension. These variants are called bundles or reserved forms.
Example
If you register "δοκιμαστικό.gr", the Registry may automatically reserve:
- "δοκιμαστικο.gr" (without accent)
- Other homograph variants (σ/ς alternations, accent placements, etc.)
Important: Bundles concern variants within the same extension. ".gr" bundles contain only ".gr" variants, not ".ελ". If you also want an ".ελ" version, you must register it separately.
Record Types
Each reserved form can be one of two types:
| Type | Description |
| DOMAIN | Independent registration, has its own nameservers, can host a separate website |
| DNAME | Redirection, automatically routes to the primary form |
How to view your Bundles
- Log in to your account
- Go to the domain management page
- Click "Reserved Forms" (or "Domain Bundles")
You will see a table with all active variants, their type (DOMAIN/DNAME) and whether they are billable.
Changing the type (DOMAIN - DNAME)
You can change a reserved form from DNAME to DOMAIN or vice versa by clicking the corresponding button in the table. The primary form cannot change type.
To activate a reserved form, see the guide activating a .gr bundle domain.
