Dot FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to get in touch with tens of millions of Internet users, since a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states 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 frequently use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal means for you to contact them them.

The domain extension was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and companies located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. In the present day, a .FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active domains, the dot FR top-level extension is among the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to book a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go online nearly instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has precise requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting providers, mainly 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 interface – you’ll be able to update the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
