.FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-specific domain name extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a top choice to get in touch with tens of millions of web users, since a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many 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 wonderful way for you to reach them.

The top-level domain was launched in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a dot FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million working domains, the .FR domain extension is one of the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to grab a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has precise restrictions 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 difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting companies, mainly 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 update the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
