Dot FR Domain Registration

The Dot FR country-specific domain is the most widely used one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to get in touch with tens of millions of WWW users, having in mind the fact that a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many of the 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 great way for you to reach them.

The domain name extension was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and corporations based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million working domains, the .FR top-level domain name extension is among the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.

If you would like to buy a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will be working more or less instantaneously. AFNIC, the Registry organization that controls this TLD, has special rules about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain should have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not come across any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. 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. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to edit the WHOIS info at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.

Dot FR Domain Management with Host My Site

If you are searching for a new home for your .FR domains, the Domain Manager interface that we provide is the best option. Being both intuitive and fully featured, it enables you to exert complete control of all domain name management tasks. You'll be able to edit all the essential DNS settings with only a single click and modify the WHOIS information pertaining to all your domain names easily. For those who have several domains, controlling all of them from the very same location is not just possible, it's actually a piece of cake.

Furthermore, when you have a hosting account here, you then are already aware of the fact that, apart from the Domain Manager itself, our Web Hosting Control Panel includes a site management section as well. In this way, you are able to quickly switch between the two, without the need to use multiple Control Panels or to adapt to different interfaces.
