Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code top-level domain extension is the most popular one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to get through to tens of millions of web users, due to the fact that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to reach them.

The domain extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a dot FR domain can be secured by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active domains, the .FR extension is amongst the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to get a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has specific requirements about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain need to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting companies, particularly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
