Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-code domain name extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to get in touch with tens of millions of web users, taking into account that a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries 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 often use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent way for you to reach them.

The top-level domain was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and corporations situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a .FR domain can be booked by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million active domains, the dot FR top-level domain name extension is among the most widely used country-code domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to grab a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has precise rules about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must 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 web hosting firms, 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 – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
