Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-specific top-level domain name extension is the most popular one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to connect with tens of millions of web users, taking into consideration that a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and quite a few of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great chance for you to reach them.

The domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and firms based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a dot FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 functioning domains, the .FR top-level extension is amongst the most widely used country-code domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to order a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go online almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has specific prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain have to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting firms, in particular 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 info at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
