.FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-code domain is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a top choice to get through to tens of millions of web users, considering that a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot 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 perfect way for you to reach them.

The domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and firms based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. In the present day, a dot FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 functioning domains, the dot FR top-level domain name extension is one of the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to acquire a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages this TLD, has precise restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a .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 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 tool – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
