Posted by DomainGang on September 25, 2017, at 3:56 pm

Operating an ICANN-accredited domain registrar in Greece, puts a lot of weight on the shoulders of Papaki. Operating from Papaki.gr and Papaki.com, the Greek domain registrar was founded in 2004 in Crete, Greece, by Dimitris Anthoulakis, Aggela Anthoulaki and Frank Maounis. In 2009, it became the top domain registrar for .GR and .EU domains in […]

Greek politics: Democrat Socialists Movement and social media failure

Posted by DomainGang on January 3, 2015, at 2:19 pm

George Papandreou, former prime minister of Greece, launched a new political party today called “Democrat Socialists Movement.” With general elections coming up on January 25th, the heat is on for Papandreou to attract votes from his former party, PASOK.

Oroskopos: Horoscope war between two Greeks – Who won the UDRP ?

Posted by DomainGang on September 29, 2014, at 2:13 pm

A war of “horoscopes” erupted between two Greeks, over the domain name Oroskopos.tv. In rather dated Greek, the word “oroskopos” means “observer of the hours” and it’s the source for modern day horoscopes. A UDRP filed at the WIPO by Newsphone Hellas SA of Greece, was targeting the ownership of the domain; Hercules Capritsas, of […]

Mike Mann wants $3000 dollars for a Greek goat

Posted by DomainGang on May 25, 2014, at 12:17 pm

Goats are the source of many nutrients in the food chain – as long as one isn’t a vegetarian. Goat meat is leaner than lamb and beef, and when cooked right possesses a rich flavor that hints of Christmas and Easter feasts combined. In Greece, the best feta cheese is made from goat milk, or […]

Elder Pastitsios: Satiric Facebook page creator sentenced to jail

Posted by DomainGang on January 18, 2014, at 7:54 pm

Almost sixteen months ago, we reported the enforcement of an outdated Greek law related to insulting one’s religion, in a case that involved the arrest of the creator of a parody Facebook page. “Pastitsios the Elder” poked fun at a long-demised monk, whose name – Paisios – rhymed with a popular Greek pasta dish, pastitsio.

Not so Despicable .me: Speedtest keyword sells for a small chunk

Posted by DomainGang on July 19, 2013, at 1:39 pm

Behold, all ye despicable minions! When the movie Despicable Me hit the theaters in 2010, it became an overnight success. Very creatively, the film producers used the Montenegrin .Me ccTLD to promote the movie, from the URL Despicable.Me.

GTLDs: Dot .Barber registry wants to give all barbers a chance

A new gTLD application at ICANN aims to give all barbers their own dedicated domain.
