Dot FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-code domain extension is the most widely used one amongst speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a top choice to contact tens of millions of WWW users, as a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal way for you to get in touch with them them.

The TLD was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and companies located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a dot FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 active domains, the .FR top-level domain name extension is amongst the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.

Many hosting firms, particularly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a .FR domain with them.
