.FR Domain Names

The .FR country-code extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a top choice to reach tens of millions of web users, considering the fact that a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful means for you to contact them them.

The domain extension was launched in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active domains, the dot FR TLD is one of the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to book a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go online almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that handles this TLD, has special conditions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must 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, above all 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 – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
