.FR Domain Names
The .FR ccTLD is the most widespread one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a perfect choice to get through to tens of millions of WWW users, as a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent way for you to get through to them.
The top-level extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and entities 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 over two and a half million active domains, the dot FR domain name extension is one of the most widely used country-code domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.
If you would like to secure a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational more or less instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has precise rules 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, especially 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 – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
