Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code top-level extension is the most widely used one amongst speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be an excellent choice to get through to tens of millions of net users, given that a dot 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 frequently use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect chance for you to get in touch with them them.

The top-level domain name extension was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a .FR domain can be secured by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active domains, the dot FR top-level domain name extension is one of the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.

Many web hosting companies, above all resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain name with them.
