Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code domain name extension is the most widespread one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to connect with tens of millions of Internet users, given that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of 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 a great chance for you to contact them them.

The domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a dot FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active registrations, the dot FR TLD is one of the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to book a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go online more or less right away. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has precise restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain need to 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 web hosting firms, particularly 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 tool – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
