.FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-code domain extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, having in mind that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful chance for you to reach them.

The domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and entities situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a .FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million working domains, the .FR extension is one of the most popular country-specific domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to buy a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational almost immediately. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has specific requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should 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 web hosting companies, 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 alter the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
