.FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-code domain name extension is the most popular one amongst French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a wonderful choice to connect with tens of millions of web users, since a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large 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 regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent way for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain name extension was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and companies located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a dot FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active registrations, the dot FR TLD is among the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that handles this TLD, has specific restrictions 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 problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting firms, mainly 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 tool – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
