Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific top-level domain name extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a top choice to connect with tens of millions of web users, as a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent means for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain extension was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be registered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active registrations, the .FR domain name extension is among the most widespread country-specific domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to buy a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live nearly instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has precise prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a .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 web hosting companies, in particular resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain name 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 change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
