Dot FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-specific domain extension is the most popular one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to reach tens of millions of World Wide Web users, as a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states 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 a great means for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be booked by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active domains, the .FR extension is among the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to get a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go online more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has specific restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must 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 dot FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel interface – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
