.FR Domain Names

The Dot FR country-specific top-level domain name extension is the most widespread one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to reach tens of millions of net users, considering that a dot FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many 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 wonderful means for you to get in touch with them them.

The top-level domain extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a .FR domain can be registered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active domains, the .FR extension is among the most widely used country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.
