Dot FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-code domain extension is the most widespread one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to get through to tens of millions of net users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and quite a few 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 an excellent means for you to get through to them.

The TLD was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a .FR domain can be registered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active registrations, the .FR domain name extension is amongst the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to purchase a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live almost instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has precise rules 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, above all 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 edit the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
