.FR Domains

The .FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most popular one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to connect with tens of millions of net users, given that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal way for you to contact them them.

The domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a .FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 functioning domains, the dot FR top-level domain name extension 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 want to purchase a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational almost instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has precise conditions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any difficulties 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 name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
