Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-specific top-level domain is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be an ideal choice to contact tens of millions of net users, taking into consideration that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with considerable 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 frequently use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect means for you to reach them.

The top-level domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be bought by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million functioning domains, the .FR TLD is amongst the most popular country-specific domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to reserve a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that handles this TLD, has specific rules about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting companies, especially 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 change the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
