Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-code extension is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a perfect choice to reach tens of millions of World Wide Web users, having in mind that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with considerable 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 electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful chance for you to reach them.

The top-level extension was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a .FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million functioning domains, the dot FR extension is among the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to buy a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has special rules about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain need to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting providers, above all resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
