Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code domain extension is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to get in touch with tens of millions of web users, since a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and quite a few of the 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 extension was launched in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and companies located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a .FR domain can be secured by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active registrations, the dot FR top-level domain extension is one of the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to order a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has specific rules about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, in particular 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 change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
