.FR Domains

The Dot FR country-specific extension is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be an ideal choice to contact tens of millions of web users, as a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal way for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a .FR domain can be registered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active registrations, the .FR top-level domain extension is amongst the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has specific terms about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain need to 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 companies, particularly 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 details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
