Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code top-level domain extension is the most popular one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to reach tens of millions of Internet users, considering that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with considerable 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 electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great chance for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain name extension was launched in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a .FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million functioning domains, the .FR top-level extension is amongst the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has precise terms about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must 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 firms, 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 interface – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
