Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code domain extension is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to get through to tens of millions of WWW users, as 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 many of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful chance for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. In the present day, a .FR domain can be booked by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million working domains, the .FR domain extension is among the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to buy a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go online almost 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 come across any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, in particular 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 edit the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
