Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-specific top-level domain is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to contact tens of millions of net users, due to the fact that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of 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 a great chance for you to get in touch with them them.

The TLD was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and corporations based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a dot FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active domains, the dot FR domain name extension is one of the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to buy a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go online more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages this TLD, has precise requirements about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain need to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting companies, especially 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 interface – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
