.FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-specific domain is the most widely used one among speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a wonderful choice to contact tens of millions of web users, having in mind that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many 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 ideal means for you to reach them.

The top-level domain was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be secured 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 one of the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to order a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live more or less right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has specific conditions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain have to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting companies, 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 update the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
