.FR Domain Names

The .FR country-code Top-Level Domain is the most popular one amongst French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, since a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine positions. 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 regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent way for you to contact them them.

The domain extension was launched in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 functioning domains, the .FR TLD is amongst the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you wish to buy a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be operational nearly instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry that manages this TLD, has specific prerequisites 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 hosting providers, particularly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain with them.
