Dot FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-specific domain is the most widespread one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to connect with tens of millions of Internet users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. 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 usually use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a .FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million working domains, the dot FR top-level extension is amongst the most popular country-code domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to grab a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working nearly immediately. AFNIC, the Registry organization that handles this TLD, has precise restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain have to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting companies, especially 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 tool – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
