Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific domain extension is the most widespread one amongst French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be an ideal choice to reach tens of millions of Internet users, considering the fact that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine standings. 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 often use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal means for you to get through to them.

The domain extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a .FR domain can be bought by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million working domains, the .FR top-level domain name extension is one of the most widespread country-specific domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to buy a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has specific rules about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain need to 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 hosting companies, mainly 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 tool – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
