.FR Domain Names

The .FR country-specific top-level extension is the most popular one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to get through to tens of millions of web users, considering the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to contact them them.

The domain extension was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and businesses situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be bought by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active registrations, the .FR TLD is among the most popular country-specific domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to buy a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go online nearly immediately. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has specific requirements about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain have 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, especially resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS contact details at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
