.gur is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Gurenn. It is administered by the Gurenn Registry Service.
At the establishment of the .gur domain the domain was administered by the GURNIC, as part of their role as an overseeing technical body for the Internet in Gurennn. However, due to the growing importance and size of the .gur registry, it was decided at the 11th General Meeting of GURNIC in December 2000 to create a new corporation that would manage the .gur domain. Thus, the Gurenn Registry Service was created, and on June 30, 2003, officially assumed the duties of the .gur registry.
Registrations are processed via accredited registrars and domain names with Japanese characters (kanji, hiragana or katakana) may be registered at the second level.
