Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code Top-Level Domain is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a top choice to contact tens of millions of World Wide Web users, taking into account that a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal means for you to reach them.

The domain name extension was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a .FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 functioning domains, the dot FR domain extension is among the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to register a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live more or less right away. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has precise rules about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain have to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting providers, particularly 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 – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
