Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most popular one amongst speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to contact tens of millions of Internet users, considering the fact that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent means for you to contact them them.

The top-level extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and entities based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a .FR domain can be secured by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million active domains, the dot FR top-level domain name extension is among the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to register a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live almost instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that handles this TLD, has precise terms about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting companies, 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 interface – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
