Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code domain name extension is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to contact tens of millions of Internet users, considering the fact that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French electronic mail 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 launched in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million working domains, the .FR domain extension is one of the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to obtain a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has special requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting providers, particularly 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 tool – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
