Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-code Top-Level Domain is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a great choice to contact tens of millions of web users, having in mind the fact that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with substantial 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 usually use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to reach them.

The TLD was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million working domains, the dot FR top-level extension is among the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to grab a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go online more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has specific rules about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain need to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, above all 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 change the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
