Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-code extension is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a good choice to get through to tens of millions of net users, due to the fact that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine standings. 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 frequently use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful chance for you to reach them.

The top-level domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a dot FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active domains, the .FR domain name extension is among the most popular country-specific domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to book a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational nearly instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has specific prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should 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 web hosting firms, above all 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 – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
