.FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-code top-level domain 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, considering that a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large 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 regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal chance for you to contact them them.

The domain extension was established in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million active domains, the dot FR top-level domain name extension is one of the most popular 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 firm and it will go live more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has precise prerequisites about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting companies, especially resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
