Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-specific top-level domain name extension is the most widely used one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a top choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many 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 an ideal means for you to get through to them.

The top-level extension was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 functioning domains, the .FR TLD is among the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to acquire a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates 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 have any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting companies, above all resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
