Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code top-level domain extension is the most widely used one among speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a wonderful choice to contact tens of millions of WWW users, due to the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots 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 a great chance for you to contact them them.

The TLD was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be secured by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million active registrations, the dot FR domain extension is amongst the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to grab a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry that handles 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 encounter any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, especially 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 tool – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
