Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific top-level extension is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to contact tens of millions of web users, since a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot 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 way for you to get in touch with them them.

The top-level extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and corporations situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be bought by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active registrations, the .FR top-level domain extension is among the most widely used country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to reserve a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has specific requirements about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must 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 providers, mainly 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 interface – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
