.FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific domain name extension is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to reach tens of millions of Internet users, given the fact that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal means for you to get in touch with them them.

The top-level domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. In the present day, a dot FR domain can be secured by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 working domains, the .FR extension is one of the most widely used country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to secure a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live nearly right away. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has special restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, in particular resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
