Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-code domain extension is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to contact tens of millions of web users, due to the fact that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots 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 means for you to reach them.

The domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and firms situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a dot FR domain can be bought by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million functioning domains, the .FR top-level extension is one of the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live almost instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages this TLD, has specific requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting companies, especially 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 interface – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
