.FR Domain Registration
The .FR country-specific extension is the most widely used one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a good choice to get through to tens of millions of World Wide Web users, given the fact that a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many 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 a perfect chance for you to contact them them.
The TLD was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and corporations based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active domains, the dot FR top-level extension is amongst the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.
If you wish to obtain a dot FR domain, you can do it through our firm and it will be operational nearly instantly. AFNIC, the Registry that controls this TLD, has special terms about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should 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 web hosting providers, above all resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel interface – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS contact info at any time, to create and to alter Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
