Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-specific domain name extension is the most popular one amongst French speakers 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, as a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with considerable 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 electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect means for you to reach them.

The TLD was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and corporations based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a dot FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million working domains, the dot FR extension is among the most widespread country-specific domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational almost immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has special requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, especially 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 – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
