.FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-code domain name extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be a top choice to get in touch with tens of millions of web users, since a dot FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect way for you to get in touch with them them.

The domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and entities based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be ordered 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 extension is amongst the most widely used country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.

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