Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code top-level domain extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be an ideal choice to reach tens of millions of World Wide Web users, having in mind that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal means for you to get in touch with them them.

The domain extension was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a dot FR domain can be secured by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active domains, the dot FR extension is one of the most widely used country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

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