Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-specific top-level domain name extension is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a wonderful choice to get through to tens of millions of WWW users, given that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine rankings. 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 often use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect way for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. In the present day, a .FR domain can be secured by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active registrations, the .FR top-level extension is among the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to reserve a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has precise prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a dot 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 firms, particularly 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 interface – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
