Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code domain extension is the most popular one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to contact tens of millions of net users, considering the fact that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with sizeable 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 ideal way for you to get in touch with them them.

The top-level domain extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a .FR domain can be registered 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 extension is amongst the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to grab a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has special rules 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 companies, particularly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
