.FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-code domain name extension is the most popular one amongst speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to contact tens of millions of web users, since a .FR domain is more likely 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 a lot of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries frequently use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great means for you to contact them them.

The domain name extension was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and entities based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active domains, the dot FR domain extension is among the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to register a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live nearly immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has specific requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain have 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 companies, mainly 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 – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
