Dot FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-specific domain extension is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a top choice to reach tens of millions of Internet users, since a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with significant 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 frequently use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful chance for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain was launched in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and firms based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million working domains, the dot FR top-level extension is amongst the most widely used country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to reserve a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational more or less right away. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has special rules about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting firms, in particular resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
