.FR Domain Names

The .FR country-code domain name extension is the most popular one amongst French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to get through to tens of millions of web users, taking into account that a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots of the 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 great means for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain name extension was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Today, a dot FR domain can be bought by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million functioning domains, the dot FR domain name extension is one of the most widespread country-specific domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to grab a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has specific terms about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting providers, 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 tool – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
