Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code domain is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, taking into consideration that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great way for you to get through to them.

The top-level extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and corporations situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a .FR domain can be bought by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active domains, the dot FR domain extension is among the most widely used country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to grab a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live nearly right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages 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 encounter any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, mainly 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 tool – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
