Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific domain is the most widely used one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a top choice to get through to tens of millions of net users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect way for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and businesses located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a dot FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 working domains, the dot FR extension is among the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to grab a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that handles this TLD, has special restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a dot 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 firms, mainly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain 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 modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
