Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code domain extension is the most popular one among French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a great choice to contact tens of millions of Internet 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 states with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous 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 great means for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain extension was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and firms located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a .FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active domains, the .FR TLD is one of the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to grab a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has specific requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting companies, above all 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 – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
