Dot FR Domains

The .FR country-code domain name extension is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be an ideal choice to contact tens of millions of WWW users, having in mind the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of 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 a wonderful chance for you to reach them.

The top-level domain was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to persons and corporations situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Today, a .FR domain can be registered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 working domains, the dot FR extension is amongst the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.
