Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific top-level domain extension is the most widespread one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be an ideal choice to reach tens of millions of web users, since a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous 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 ideal means for you to reach them.

The domain extension was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a .FR domain can be bought by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active registrations, the .FR TLD is amongst the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to book a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go online nearly instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has specific conditions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain need 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 providers, mainly 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 tool – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
