Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code domain name extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to get through to tens of millions of WWW users, given the fact that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and quite a few of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to get in touch with them them.

The top-level extension was launched in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active registrations, the .FR TLD is amongst the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to reserve a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go online more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has special terms about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting firms, above all resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
