Dot FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to get in touch with tens of millions of net users, taking into consideration that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots 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 an excellent way for you to get through to them.

The domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a .FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million functioning domains, the dot FR domain name extension is among the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to obtain a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live more or less instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has precise terms about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must 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 hosting firms, especially resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .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 details at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
