Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code domain is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to get through to tens of millions of WWW users, given the fact that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect means for you to reach them.

The domain extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a dot FR domain can be bought by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 functioning domains, the dot FR top-level domain name extension is amongst the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to purchase a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working nearly right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages this TLD, has special restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a .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 companies, above all 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 – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS contact details at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
