.FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a wonderful choice to get through to tens of millions of WWW users, considering the fact that 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 quite a few of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal way for you to contact them them.

The domain extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and businesses situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be registered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active registrations, the .FR TLD is one of the most widespread country-specific domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to purchase a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational nearly immediately. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages this TLD, has special rules about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, in particular 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 – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
