Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-specific 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 will be a wonderful choice to get in touch with tens of millions of WWW users, having in mind the fact that a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable 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 usually use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great chance for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, 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 working domains, the .FR top-level domain name extension is among the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to book a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working almost immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has specific conditions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must 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 hosting firms, mainly 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 interface – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS contact details at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
