Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-specific domain extension 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 net users, taking into account that a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many 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 an excellent way for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Today, a dot FR domain can be registered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million functioning domains, the dot FR domain extension is among the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to book a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has specific rules 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 problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting companies, particularly 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 – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
