.FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code domain name extension is the most widely used one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a perfect choice to reach tens of millions of net users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots 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 great chance for you to contact them them.

The TLD was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and companies based 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 2.5 million working domains, the dot FR TLD is among the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to obtain a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational more or less right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has precise restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a dot 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, above all resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
