.FR Domain Registration

The .FR ccTLD is the most widely used one among French speakers and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be an ideal choice to get in touch with tens of millions of web 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 frequently use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal chance for you to reach them.

The top-level domain name extension was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and companies situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a .FR domain can be purchased by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2,500,000 working domains, the dot FR extension is one of the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.
