Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code domain is the most popular one among speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a great choice to connect with tens of millions of Internet users, as a dot FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with significant French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries usually use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great way for you to reach them.

The top-level extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and corporations situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. These Days, a .FR domain can be registered by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million working domains, the dot FR domain name extension is amongst the most widespread country-code extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.
