Dot FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-code top-level extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to contact tens of millions of net users, as a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and quite a few 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 an excellent way for you to reach them.

The TLD was launched in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million functioning domains, the .FR top-level domain name extension is among the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to reserve a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go online almost instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has precise requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must 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 companies, mainly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel interface – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
