Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific top-level domain extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a wonderful choice to get in touch with tens of millions of WWW users, taking into account that a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous 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 excellent way for you to reach them.

The top-level domain extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and firms situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active registrations, the .FR top-level extension is among the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to order a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational more or less right away. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has special prerequisites 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 problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting firms, above all resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS contact details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
