.FR Domains

The .FR ccTLD is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a great choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, taking into account that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great way for you to reach them.

The top-level domain was launched in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and firms located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a dot FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million working domains, the dot FR domain extension is amongst the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to secure a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live almost instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has precise conditions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting firms, above all 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 edit the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
