Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code domain is the most widespread one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to get through to tens of millions of net users, as a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with large 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 electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent chance for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain was launched in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and entities located in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. At present, a dot FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active registrations, the .FR top-level domain name extension is among the most widely used country-specific domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.
