.FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-specific domain extension is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a perfect choice to contact tens of millions of Internet users, having in mind that a .FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a perfect means for you to reach them.

The domain name extension was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and corporations situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million functioning domains, the dot FR top-level domain extension is amongst the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.
