.FR Domains

The .FR country-specific top-level domain is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a perfect choice to get through to tens of millions of WWW users, given the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot 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 a wonderful means for you to get in touch with them them.

The domain extension was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Today, a dot FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active registrations, the dot FR domain extension is one of the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to acquire a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working almost immediately. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has special terms about certain records that the name servers of a dot 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, particularly 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 change the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
