Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code top-level domain name extension is the most widely used one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to get through to tens of millions of Internet users, as a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and lots of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries often use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal chance for you to get through to them.

The domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and corporations based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Today, a .FR domain can be reserved 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 among the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.
