.FR

Dot FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-code domain name extension is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, due to the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many 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 great means for you to reach them.

The top-level domain was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a .FR domain can be booked by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active domains, the .FR top-level domain extension is amongst the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to secure a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working nearly instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages this TLD, has special conditions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should 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 dot FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
