.FR

Dot FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-code domain name extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a great choice to get through to tens of millions of net users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful chance for you to get through to them.

The TLD was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and corporations situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a .FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active domains, the .FR TLD is one of the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has precise prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain have 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 firms, particularly 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 tool – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
