.FR Domain Names

The .FR country-specific top-level domain extension is the most widespread one amongst French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a great choice to get in touch with tens of millions of WWW users, considering the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great chance for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain name extension was established in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and firms located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Today, a dot FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active registrations, the dot FR top-level domain name extension is one of the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to order a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go online almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages this TLD, has precise terms about certain records that the name servers of a .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 hosting companies, in particular 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 alter the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
