Dot FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-code domain name extension is the most widespread one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a good choice to reach tens of millions of World Wide Web users, because a .FR domain is more probable 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 a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries frequently use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal means for you to contact them them.

The top-level domain was launched in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a .FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active domains, the .FR domain extension is among the most widely used country-code extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.
