Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific domain is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to contact tens of millions of World Wide Web users, having in mind the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal means for you to contact them them.

The top-level extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. In the present day, a .FR domain can be booked by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active domains, the .FR domain extension is amongst the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to order a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has precise 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 web hosting firms, above all 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 contact information at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
