Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most popular one amongst French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a top choice to contact tens of millions of net users, due to the fact that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal way for you to reach them.

The TLD was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and companies situated 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 2,500,000 active registrations, the dot FR top-level domain name extension is one of the most popular country-specific domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to buy a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages this TLD, has specific terms 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 hosting providers, especially resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel interface – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
