.FR

Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-specific domain extension is the most popular one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to contact tens of millions of web users, given that a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with substantial 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 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 domain was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and firms located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a .FR domain can be bought by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active registrations, the dot FR extension is amongst the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to book a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live almost instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has specific restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should 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 .FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
