.FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code domain is the most popular one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to reach tens of millions of Internet users, given that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of 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 a perfect chance for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and firms located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Today, a dot FR domain can be registered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active registrations, the .FR TLD is among the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to order a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has precise requirements about certain records that the name servers of a dot 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 hosting firms, mainly 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 change the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
