Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-specific top-level extension is the most widespread one among speakers of French and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be an ideal choice to reach tens of millions of World Wide Web users, considering the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous 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 an excellent means for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and businesses based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. These Days, a .FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active registrations, the dot FR TLD is among the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

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