Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific domain extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be an ideal choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, having in mind that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of 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 wonderful way for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain was established in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be bought by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million working domains, the .FR top-level domain name extension is amongst the most widely used country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to reserve a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has precise prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should 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 hosting companies, particularly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
