Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code Top-Level Domain is the most widely used one among speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a wonderful choice to connect with tens of millions of WWW users, given that a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. 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 usually use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great means for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 working domains, the dot FR TLD is among the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has increased 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 online more or less instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has special prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should 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 providers, in particular resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
