Dot FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-specific top-level domain name extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a great choice to contact tens of millions of web users, because a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many 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 an excellent chance for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and corporations based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. In the present day, a dot FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million functioning domains, the dot FR top-level extension is amongst the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go online more or less instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has special restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain need to 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, mainly 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 modify the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
