Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-specific extension is the most widespread one amongst French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a great choice to connect with tens of millions of Internet users, given the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful chance for you to get in touch with them them.

The domain name extension was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and entities situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be registered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million functioning domains, the .FR domain name extension is amongst the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to buy a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live almost instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages this TLD, has precise terms about certain records that the name servers of a .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 hosting providers, 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 interface – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
