Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific domain extension is the most widely used one amongst speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a top choice to get in touch with tens of millions of WWW users, since a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the 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 a perfect way for you to reach them.

The domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a dot FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million active domains, the .FR domain extension is among the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to grab a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has special requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain have 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, mainly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
