Dot FR Domains

The .FR ccTLD is the most widely used one amongst speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be an ideal choice to get through to tens of millions of WWW users, taking into account that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous 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 perfect way for you to reach them.

The top-level domain extension was established in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active registrations, the .FR top-level extension is among the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to get a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages this TLD, has special restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must 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 name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel interface – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS contact details at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
