Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code extension is the most popular 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 net users, because a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine positions. 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 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 created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a .FR domain can be registered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active registrations, the .FR extension is amongst the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to book a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational more or less right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has precise rules about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must 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 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 – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
