Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific domain name extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a wonderful choice to reach tens of millions of web users, taking into consideration that a .FR domain is more likely 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 many 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 perfect chance for you to reach them.

The top-level domain extension was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Today, a dot FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active domains, the dot FR TLD is among the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to secure a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live nearly immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has precise conditions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain have to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting companies, in particular resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
