.FR Domains

The .FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most widely used one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to get in touch with tens of millions of World Wide Web users, having in mind the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine positions. 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 frequently use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect chance for you to reach them.

The top-level domain was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a .FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 working domains, the dot FR top-level domain name extension is among the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to book a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live almost instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has special rules about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting firms, especially resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
