.FR

Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-specific top-level extension is the most popular one among French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to get in touch with tens of millions of net users, having in mind the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of 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 chance for you to contact them them.

The top-level extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and corporations based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Today, a dot FR domain can be registered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active domains, the .FR extension is one of the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to order a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages 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 difficulties 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 change the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
