.FR

Dot FR Domain Registration

The .FR ccTLD is the most widespread one amongst French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a great choice to get in touch with tens of millions of web users, since a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine positions. 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 frequently use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to reach them.

The top-level domain was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and businesses located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. In the present day, a .FR domain can be registered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active registrations, the .FR domain extension is one of the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to buy a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has specific requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting firms, in particular resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
