Dot FR Domains

The Dot FR country-code extension is the most widespread one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a perfect choice to contact tens of millions of WWW users, due to the fact 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 considerable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the 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 an ideal way for you to contact them them.

The domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and corporations situated in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than two and a half million active registrations, the dot FR domain extension is one of the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past several years.
