Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific top-level domain extension is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a top choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, considering the fact that a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many of the 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 ideal chance for you to reach them.

The top-level domain extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a .FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active domains, the dot FR top-level domain extension is one of the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to book a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational nearly immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has specific terms 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 difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting companies, above all 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 interface – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
