.FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-code domain 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 Internet users, given that a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect chance for you to get through to them.

The TLD was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and firms based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be registered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million functioning domains, the .FR top-level domain name extension is amongst the most popular country-specific domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.
