.FR Domains

The .FR country-specific domain extension is the most widely used one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to get through to tens of millions of World Wide Web users, given that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and quite a few 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 a wonderful way for you to get through to them.

The top-level extension was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and businesses situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be registered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million functioning domains, the dot FR extension 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 would like to acquire a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has special prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain need to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting providers, 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 interface – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
