.FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-specific domain name extension is the most widespread one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be an ideal choice to get through to tens of millions of web users, taking into consideration that a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries frequently use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal chance for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a .FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active domains, the .FR domain extension is one of the most widely used country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to order a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has special conditions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting firms, in particular 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 update the WHOIS contact details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
