Dot FR Domain Names
The .FR country-specific top-level domain is the most widely used one among speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a perfect choice to get in touch with tens of millions of World Wide Web users, taking into consideration that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and quite a few of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful way for you to contact them them.
The top-level domain extension was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and corporations based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a dot FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million active domains, the .FR extension is one of the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.
If you want to reserve a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has precise restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain must have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not have any problems to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many hosting providers, in particular resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain name with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to change the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to change Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
