Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific top-level domain name extension is the most widespread one amongst French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be an ideal choice to connect with tens of millions of web users, given the fact that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the 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 a great chance for you to get through to them.

The TLD was launched in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and corporations situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a .FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million active registrations, the dot FR top-level extension is one of the most widespread country-specific domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go online nearly right away. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has specific prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain need to 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 hosting firms, above all 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 interface – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
