Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific domain name extension is the most popular one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to get in touch with tens of millions of net users, considering that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large 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 a wonderful means for you to get through to them.

The TLD was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and businesses situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 functioning domains, the dot FR extension is amongst the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to buy a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live almost immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has precise conditions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting companies, especially 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 alter the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
