.FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific top-level domain is the most popular one amongst speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to get through to tens of millions of web users, because a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial 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 an excellent means for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and corporations situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million working domains, the dot FR domain extension is among the most popular country-code domains. And this number has expanded 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 organization that manages this TLD, has special terms about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain have to 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 web hosting providers, particularly 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 edit the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
