Dot FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-code domain extension is the most popular one amongst French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to connect with tens of millions of Internet users, having in mind the fact that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot 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 a great chance for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain name extension was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a dot FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million functioning domains, the dot FR top-level extension is amongst the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you would like to reserve a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has specific restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain have 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 companies, 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 interface – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
