Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific domain is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to connect with tens of millions of Internet users, due to the fact that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to get through to them.

The domain extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. In the present day, a .FR domain can be registered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million functioning domains, the .FR top-level extension is one of the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to obtain a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates 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, 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 details at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
