Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific domain is the most widely used one among speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to contact tens of millions of web users, as a dot FR domain is more probable 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 quite a few of the 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 an excellent means for you to get through to them.

The top-level extension was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a dot FR domain can be secured by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million functioning domains, the .FR TLD is amongst the most widely used country-code domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to purchase a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational nearly instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages this TLD, has specific restrictions 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 hosting providers, above all 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 interface – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
