.FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific extension is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to reach tens of millions of Internet users, having in mind the fact that a .FR domain is more probable 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 a lot of the 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 chance for you to reach them.

The TLD was launched in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and businesses based 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 dot FR top-level extension is among the most popular country-code domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to purchase a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that handles this TLD, has specific terms about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain need to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting firms, mainly 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 – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
