Dot FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-code domain is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a top choice to reach tens of millions of net users, as a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great way for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain was launched in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and businesses located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a dot FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active domains, the dot FR TLD is one of the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to get a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live almost instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has special terms about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting companies, mainly 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 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.
