Dot FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR ccTLD is the most widespread one amongst French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a wonderful choice to reach tens of millions of net users, as a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries 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 regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great means for you to get through to them.

The domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a dot FR domain can be secured by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active domains, the dot FR domain name extension is amongst the most popular country-specific 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 more or less right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages this TLD, has special requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain need to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter 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 name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
