Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code top-level extension is the most widespread one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a top choice to reach tens of millions of Internet users, as a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with considerable 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 regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great means for you to get in touch with them them.

The TLD was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a dot FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active domains, the .FR top-level domain extension is among the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to reserve a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live almost instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has special rules about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain have to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting providers, especially 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 edit the WHOIS contact details at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
