Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-code domain name extension is the most widely used one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to reach tens of millions of World Wide Web users, because a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many 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 a perfect means for you to get through to them.

The domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and businesses located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a .FR domain can be registered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 working domains, the .FR top-level domain name 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 wish to purchase a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live nearly immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has precise prerequisites 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 hosting providers, above all resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .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 information at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
