.FR

Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-specific domain extension is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a wonderful choice to reach tens of millions of web users, considering the fact that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal way for you to contact them them.

The top-level extension was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and companies located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. In the present day, a dot FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active registrations, the dot FR extension is one of the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to get a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational almost instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that handles this TLD, has special requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain need to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, in particular 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 interface – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
