.FR Domain Names

The .FR ccTLD is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a great choice to get through to tens of millions of web users, having in mind that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful chance for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain extension was launched in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be registered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million functioning domains, the .FR top-level domain extension is one of the most widespread country-specific domains. 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 online almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has special rules about certain records that the name servers of a .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 providers, above all 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 modify the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
