.FR Domain Registration
The .FR country-specific domain extension is the most widespread one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to reach tens of millions of net users, taking into account that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal way for you to reach them.
The domain extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a .FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active registrations, the .FR TLD is amongst 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 register a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working almost right away. AFNIC, the Registry that handles this TLD, has precise requirements about certain records that the name servers of a .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, mainly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS details at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
