Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-code domain name extension is the most popular one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a perfect choice to reach tens of millions of web users, since a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial 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 electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful way for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain extension was launched in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a dot FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active registrations, the .FR top-level domain extension is among the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has precise prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a .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 web hosting providers, mainly 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 edit the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
