Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific domain is the most popular one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a wonderful choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, since a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and quite a few of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually 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 started in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a dot FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million functioning domains, the .FR TLD is amongst the most popular country-code domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to book a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go online almost instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has precise terms about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain have to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, mainly 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 alter the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
