Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-specific domain extension is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to get in touch with tens of millions of net users, considering that a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and quite a few of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and companies located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Today, a .FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million working domains, the .FR top-level domain extension is amongst the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to buy a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go online almost immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has precise requirements about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain have to 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, especially resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
