Dot FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-specific top-level domain name extension is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to get through to tens of millions of World Wide Web users, since a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states 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 electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect chance for you to reach them.

The top-level extension was launched in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a .FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million functioning domains, the dot FR top-level extension is among the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to purchase a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has special requirements about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain need to 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, particularly 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 tool – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
