Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-specific domain extension is the most widespread one amongst French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a good choice to get through to tens of millions of World Wide Web users, due to the fact that a .FR domain is more likely 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 a lot of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal way for you to get in touch with them them.

The domain extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and firms situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. In the present day, a dot 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 .FR domain name extension is among the most widely used country-code domains. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.
