Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be an ideal choice to get in touch with tens of millions of World Wide Web users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and quite a few of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries frequently use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to contact them them.

The top-level extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a dot FR domain can be booked by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active registrations, the dot FR domain extension is amongst the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to order a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational more or less right away. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has specific restrictions 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 difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting companies, 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 – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
