Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to get through to tens of millions of web users, as a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great chance for you to get in touch with them them.

The domain extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and corporations situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a .FR domain can be bought by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active registrations, the .FR extension is one of the most popular country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you want to buy a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go online more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has special terms about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain have 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 web hosting companies, mainly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain with them.
