.FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-specific top-level domain is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be an ideal choice to connect with tens of millions of net users, due to the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of 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 an ideal means for you to get through to them.

The top-level extension was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and corporations based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active registrations, the dot FR TLD is amongst the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live more or less instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has precise requirements 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 web hosting companies, above all 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 edit the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
