.FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to connect with tens of millions of Internet users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries frequently use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great chance for you to contact them them.

The domain name extension was launched in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be booked by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active registrations, the dot FR TLD is one of the most popular country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to get a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational nearly right away. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has special terms about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should 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 hosting firms, especially 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 interface – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
