.FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-specific domain name extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to contact tens of millions of WWW users, taking into consideration that a .FR domain is more likely 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 lots of the 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 ideal way for you to reach them.

The top-level domain was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a .FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million functioning domains, the dot FR domain extension is one of the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.
