.FR Domains

The .FR country-code top-level domain extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a good choice to reach tens of millions of World Wide Web users, given that a .FR domain is more likely 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 quite a few of the 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 a great means for you to get in touch with them them.

The top-level extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a dot FR domain can be booked by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active domains, the .FR top-level extension is among the most widely used country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to buy a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working nearly instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has special rules 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 problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, 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 change the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
