Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code top-level extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to reach tens of millions of web users, given that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries 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 usually use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful way for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and firms situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a .FR domain can be bought by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active registrations, the .FR domain extension is one of the most popular country-code domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to acquire a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live almost instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has precise rules about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, mainly 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 modify the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
