Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, taking into consideration that a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous 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 top-level domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active registrations, the dot FR domain name extension is amongst the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to secure a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has specific conditions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain need to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting firms, above all 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 tool – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
