Dot FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-code extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to reach tens of millions of World Wide Web users, as a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries frequently use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent way for you to get through to them.

The top-level extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and firms situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be booked by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active registrations, the dot FR TLD is one of the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to purchase a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has special prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain need 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 web hosting companies, in particular 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 alter the WHOIS contact details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
