Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific domain extension is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a top choice to connect with tens of millions of web users, taking into consideration that a .FR domain is more likely 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 lots 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 great chance for you to get through to them.

The domain extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be secured by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million active registrations, the dot FR domain extension is one of the most popular country-specific domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to buy a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has specific conditions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain need 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 companies, mainly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain 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.
