.FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-code domain extension is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a top choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, taking into account that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial 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 usually use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful chance for you to reach them.

The top-level domain extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a .FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 working domains, the dot FR domain name extension is amongst 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 be working 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 need to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting firms, particularly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
