Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific top-level domain extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to contact tens of millions of WWW users, considering the fact that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots of the 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 ideal means for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain extension was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and companies located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a .FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active registrations, the dot FR extension is one of the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to reserve a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has specific prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a .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 hosting companies, in particular 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 contact info at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
