The Dot FR country-specific domain name extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a perfect choice to connect with tens of millions of WWW users, having in mind the fact that a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect chance for you to get in touch with them them.

The top-level domain extension was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a dot FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million working domains, the .FR top-level domain extension is one of the most widely used country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you want to reserve a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working nearly immediately. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has special conditions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must 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 web hosting firms, above all 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 change the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
