.FR Domains

The .FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most widespread one among French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be an ideal choice to get in touch with tens of millions of World Wide Web users, as a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and quite a few of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries frequently use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great way for you to get through to them.

The top-level extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a dot FR domain can be secured by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million functioning domains, the dot FR extension is one of the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to get a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live almost instantly. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has specific prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain need to 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 firms, especially 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 tool – you’ll be able to alter the WHOIS contact details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
