Dot FR Domain Names
The .FR country-specific top-level domain extension is the most popular one amongst French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be an ideal choice to connect with tens of millions of Internet users, given that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot 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 a perfect way for you to get through to them.
The TLD was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be booked by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 working domains, the dot FR top-level domain extension is among the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.
If you wish to reserve 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 handles this TLD, has special restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain have to 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 firms, particularly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain 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 modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
