.FR Domains

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

The TLD was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to persons and companies based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. In the present day, a .FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million functioning domains, the dot FR top-level extension is amongst the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.
