Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code domain name extension is the most widespread one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a perfect choice to reach tens of millions of WWW users, because a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with large 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 email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect way for you to contact them them.

The domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a dot FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active registrations, the dot FR TLD is amongst the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to grab a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working more or less right away. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has precise rules about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain need to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting companies, 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 tool – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
