Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific domain name extension is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be an ideal choice to reach tens of millions of net users, taking into account that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the 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 was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and entities based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a dot FR domain can be registered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active registrations, the dot FR TLD is among the most widespread country-specific domains. And this number has increased 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 firm and it will go live almost instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has special prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain need to 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 web hosting companies, particularly 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 modify the WHOIS contact details at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
