Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR ccTLD is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a top choice to contact tens of millions of web users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries frequently use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful way for you to get through to them.

The TLD was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million functioning domains, the dot FR TLD is among the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to book a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working almost immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has special requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, 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 interface – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
