Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-code top-level domain extension is the most popular one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to contact tens of millions of World Wide Web users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous 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 a great way for you to reach them.

The top-level domain was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and firms located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million active registrations, the .FR domain extension is one of the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to register a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has specific terms about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain have to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting providers, in particular 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 interface – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
