Dot FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-code domain name extension is the most widely used one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to get through to tens of millions of WWW users, considering that a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great means for you to get through to them.

The domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a dot FR domain can be registered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 functioning domains, the .FR TLD is among the most popular country-specific domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to book a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has precise prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain have to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting firms, above all 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 – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
