Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-specific top-level extension is the most widely used one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a top choice to connect with tens of millions of net users, given that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with substantial 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 an excellent means for you to get in touch with them them.

The top-level extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and businesses situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a dot FR domain can be registered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active domains, the .FR domain extension is among the most popular country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has specific terms about certain records that the name servers of a .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 providers, above all 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 tool – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
