Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code Top-Level Domain is the most popular one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to contact tens of millions of Internet users, having in mind the fact that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of 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 an ideal way for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and entities based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a .FR domain can be booked by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 functioning domains, the dot FR top-level domain extension is among the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to acquire a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational more or less instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has specific rules about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should 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 firms, mainly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
