.FR Domains

The Dot FR country-specific top-level extension is the most popular one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to connect with tens of millions of World Wide Web users, having in mind that a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant 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 often use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great means for you to get through to them.

The TLD was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and corporations based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a dot FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 working domains, the .FR domain extension is one of the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to book a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be working nearly immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that handles 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 web hosting providers, 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 change the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
