Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-specific top-level domain name extension is the most popular one amongst speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, considering that a dot FR domain is more likely 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 numerous countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to reach them.

The top-level domain name extension was established in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and firms located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a .FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million functioning domains, the .FR top-level extension is among the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to register a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational almost instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has special restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any difficulties 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 .FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
