Dot FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-specific extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a great choice to get in touch with tens of millions of Internet users, having in mind the fact that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful means for you to reach them.

The top-level extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a dot FR domain can be bought by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million working domains, the .FR TLD is amongst the most widely used country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to grab a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working nearly instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has special rules about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain need to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting providers, especially resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .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 modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
