.FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-specific top-level extension is the most widespread one amongst French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to connect with tens of millions of Internet users, because a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the 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 perfect means for you to reach them.

The top-level domain extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Today, a .FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million functioning domains, the dot FR extension is among the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to buy a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go online nearly immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has specific rules about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must 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 providers, 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 – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
