.FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-code top-level extension is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, since a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant 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 way for you to get through to them.

The domain name extension was launched in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be booked by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active domains, the dot FR TLD is among the most popular country-code domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has specific prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should 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 web hosting firms, above all 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 edit the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
