Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific top-level domain is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a perfect choice to get in touch with tens of millions of net users, due to the fact that a dot 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 often use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal means for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and firms situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a .FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active domains, the .FR domain name extension is one of the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to buy a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has special terms about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should 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 companies, in particular 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 interface – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
