.FR Domains
The .FR country-specific top-level domain extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to get through to tens of millions of WWW users, since a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states 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 frequently use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a wonderful means for you to reach them.
The top-level domain name extension was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and businesses located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active registrations, the .FR domain extension is amongst the most popular country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.
If you want to buy a .FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will go live more or less immediately. AFNIC, the Registry organization that administrates this TLD, has special rules about certain records that the name servers of a dot FR domain must 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 firms, 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 alter the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to update Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
