Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-code Top-Level Domain is the most popular one among French speakers 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 web users, due to the fact that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries 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 often use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great means for you to get through to them.

The top-level extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a .FR domain can be bought by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million functioning domains, the dot FR top-level extension is one of the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to register a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working more or less right away. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has specific rules about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must 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 web hosting companies, especially resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
