Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to connect with tens of millions of Internet users, because a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots 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 a great means for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a .FR domain can be secured by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 functioning domains, the dot FR top-level domain extension is amongst the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to buy a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational almost immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has specific conditions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain have to 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, 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 – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
