.FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-specific top-level domain is the most widespread one amongst French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a top choice to reach tens of millions of net users, because a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with large 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 email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain extension was launched in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and businesses located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be bought by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million working domains, the dot FR domain extension is amongst the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to reserve a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational almost immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that administrates this TLD, has special restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should 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 hosting providers, particularly 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 tool – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
