Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code domain name extension is the most popular one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a great choice to connect with tens of millions of web users, considering the fact that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states 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 regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent means for you to get through to them.

The top-level extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and corporations situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a .FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million active registrations, the dot FR extension is amongst the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to book a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has specific requirements 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 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 alter the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
