.FR Domains

The .FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most widespread one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to reach tens of millions of Internet users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher 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 frequently use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great way for you to reach them.

The top-level domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and corporations based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active domains, the .FR top-level domain name extension is amongst the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to register a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live nearly immediately. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has specific requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain have to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, in particular 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 tool – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
