.FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-code domain name extension is the most popular one among French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to get in touch with tens of millions of World Wide Web users, given that a .FR domain is more probable to have better 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 lot of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal means for you to get through to them.

The top-level extension was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be bought by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active registrations, the .FR extension is among the most popular country-code domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to grab a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live almost instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has specific requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting firms, especially resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
