Dot FR Domain Names

The .FR country-code top-level domain extension is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a good choice to get in touch with tens of millions of net users, considering that a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states 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 regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent way for you to get through to them.

The TLD was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and corporations located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. At present, a dot FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million working domains, the dot FR domain name extension is among the most widely used country-code domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past couple of years.
