.FR Domain Names
The Dot FR country-specific extension is the most popular one among French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a great choice to reach tens of millions of WWW users, considering that a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states 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 regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful chance for you to get through to them.
The top-level domain was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a dot FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active domains, the .FR extension is amongst the most widespread country-specific domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.
If you would like to book a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has specific restrictions 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 problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting firms, especially resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
