.FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-code domain is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be an ideal choice to reach tens of millions of WWW users, given the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large 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 great chance for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain was established in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and companies located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a dot FR domain can be booked by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active domains, the dot FR top-level extension is one of the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to order a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go online more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has precise rules 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 problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting firms, especially 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 interface – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
