.FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code top-level extension is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to connect with tens of millions of World Wide Web 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 countries with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous 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 means for you to contact them them.

The TLD was launched in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and entities situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a .FR domain can be registered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million functioning domains, the .FR domain extension is one of the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to register a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live more or less right away. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has special conditions about certain records that the name servers of a .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 web hosting providers, particularly 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 change the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
