.FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code top-level domain extension is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a perfect choice to contact tens of millions of web users, given the fact that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries frequently use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to reach them.

The domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and businesses located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a dot FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 functioning domains, the .FR domain extension is one of the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.

If you wish to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational almost instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has special conditions about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain need to 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 hosting companies, in particular resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain with them.
