.FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-code top-level extension is the most widely used one among speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be an ideal choice to get in touch with tens of millions of Internet users, having in mind that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to get in touch with them them.

The top-level domain name extension was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a .FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million functioning domains, the dot FR top-level domain name extension is one of the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to grab a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has specific prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain have to 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 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 update the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
