Dot FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-specific top-level domain name extension is the most popular one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a perfect choice to get in touch with tens of millions of web users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with large 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 email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful way for you to contact them them.

The domain extension was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and companies located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Today, a dot FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active domains, the dot FR domain extension is amongst the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to acquire a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go online more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has special conditions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should 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, above all 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 – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
