Dot FR Domain Names
The .FR country-code extension is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a top choice to get in touch with tens of millions of web users, as a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable 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 means for you to get in touch with them them.
The top-level extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and entities situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a dot FR domain can be booked by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million working domains, the dot FR top-level extension is one of the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.
If you want to grab a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has specific conditions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain need 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 companies, 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 change the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
