.FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-code Top-Level Domain is the most popular one amongst French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to get in touch with tens of millions of Internet users, having in mind 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 states with substantial 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 an ideal way for you to contact them them.

The domain extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million functioning domains, the dot FR TLD is one of the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to reserve a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational almost instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has specific restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a dot 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, particularly 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 tool – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
