.FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific domain is the most widely used one amongst speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to contact tens of millions of net users, because a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with significant 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 email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal way for you to contact them them.

The domain name extension was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and firms located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a .FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million working domains, the dot FR TLD is amongst the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to acquire 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 handles this TLD, has special requirements about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should 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 firms, mainly 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 change the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
