Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-specific top-level domain is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to get through to tens of millions of net users, having in mind the fact that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many 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 way for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and firms located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be registered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active domains, the .FR top-level extension is amongst the most popular country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to purchase a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working almost immediately. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has precise requirements about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting companies, especially 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 interface – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
