Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-code top-level extension is the most popular one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a wonderful choice to connect with tens of millions of Internet users, having in mind that a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of 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 great means for you to reach them.

The domain name extension was launched in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and entities based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a .FR domain can be booked by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active registrations, the .FR top-level domain name extension is one of the most widespread country-specific domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to buy a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has special restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting companies, particularly 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 tool – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
