Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code top-level 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 a perfect choice to contact tens of millions of net users, taking into consideration that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many 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 a great chance for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain name extension was launched in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and companies located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a .FR domain can be bought by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million functioning domains, the .FR extension is amongst the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to grab a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational almost immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has precise conditions 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 web hosting providers, above all 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 alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
