.FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-code domain is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to connect with tens of millions of World Wide Web users, considering that a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries frequently use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal means for you to contact them them.

The domain extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million working domains, the dot FR top-level extension is among the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to register a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has precise requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must 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 web hosting firms, mainly 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 information at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
