Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-code domain is the most popular one among French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be an ideal choice to connect with tens of millions of World Wide Web users, since a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with large 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 great means for you to get in touch with them them.

The top-level domain was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million active domains, the dot FR top-level extension is amongst the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.
