Is Pointer down right now?
The Pointer status feed at the top of this page tracks live Pointer down reports from domain owners and site hosts. As an official .gr registrar, Pointer faults hit both websites and domain renewals.
Reports name nameserver changes, transfers and control panel access most often. A spike across all three points at the platform, not your domain settings.
Is Pointer down for me or everyone?
Open your hosted site in its own tab, away from the control panel. If the site answers while the panel fails, your visitors see nothing wrong at all. If both fail while reports here climb, the Pointer outage is shared by all customers.
What a .gr backorder does for an expiring name
Backorders let you claim a .gr domain the moment it expires and drops. You place the order in advance and the system grabs the name if it frees. A domain marketplace and portfolio pricing sit beside the backorder tool.
Resellers automate the whole flow through an API and a WHMCS module. Registrations, renewals and hosting activation run without manual orders that way.
Choosing cPanel or Plesk on Pointer hosting
Shared hosting offers both cPanel and Plesk, on NVMe storage with Greek IPs. The basic plan holds no MySQL, so WordPress needs the Bronze tier or above. Free migration comes with annual plans when you move in.
Restoring a backup through the helpdesk
Backups run every two days and stay on file for two weeks. Restores go through the helpdesk rather than a self-service button. Ask early, since points older than the window are gone for good.
Reseller tools, the API and WHMCS module
The reseller programme runs white-label, with your own logo and nameservers. The API and WHMCS module automate registration, renewal, invoicing and hosting activation. Portfolio pricing rewards resellers who hold many domains in one account.
Common Pointer Problems and Fixes
Pointer customers write about nameserver waits, email accounts lost in migration and transfers that stall. Each fix below goes at one of those faults by name.
Wait out a nameserver change without breaking the site
Nameserver changes need about a day to propagate across networks. During that day, some traffic still lands on the old server. Keep the old hosting alive until the change settles, and never cancel it on day one.
Recreate email accounts after a migration
A hosting move can leave mailboxes behind even when files arrive. Recreate the accounts in cPanel or Plesk with the same addresses and settings. Matching the old setup means Outlook and phones keep working without new profiles.
Transfer a .gr domain to Pointer
Transfers of .gr domains to Pointer are free, with the authorization code from your current registrar. A transferred domain brings free small hosting and one mailbox with it. Release the lock first so the move does not stall at the gate.
Restore a backup inside the two-week window
Backups run every two days and remain on file for two weeks. Message the helpdesk with the domain and the point you want back. Ask as soon as you spot the fault, since old points fall away daily.
Hosted pages refuse to load at all
Check the control panel for the domain’s status and renewal date first. An expired domain takes the site and its email down together. If both are live, open a helpdesk ticket with the exact error you see.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I transfer my .gr domain to Pointer?
Start the transfer in the control panel with the authorization code from your current registrar. The transfer itself is free for .gr names. Release the domain lock first so the move runs without a stall.
Can Pointer restore a backup of my website?
The helpdesk restores backups taken every two days over the last two weeks. Give them the domain and the point you want back. Older points no longer exist, so ask quickly after a fault.
What is a .gr backorder at Pointer?
A backorder reserves your claim on a .gr name that is about to expire. If the name drops, the system tries to register it for you. It suits names whose owners let them lapse unused.
Why does my site still show the old server after a Pointer nameserver change?
Propagation takes about a day, and networks update at different speeds. Some visitors keep hitting the old server during that window. Keep the old hosting running until every check shows the new one.
Where do I manage DNS for a Pointer domain?
DNS and nameserver changes live in Pointer’s own control panel. The screens put both a few clicks from the domain list. Your panel login details arrive by email after your first order.
Does Pointer hosting include email accounts?
Plans include mailboxes, and a transferred .gr domain brings one free mailbox. Business Email adds large mailboxes with SpamExperts filtering and webmail. The basic hosting tier holds five email accounts.
