Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code domain name extension is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to reach tens of millions of net users, given the fact 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 quite a few of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal way for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and firms based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Today, a dot FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 functioning domains, the .FR domain extension is among the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has expanded 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 more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has special restrictions 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 hosting companies, mainly 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 modify the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
