.FR Domain Registration

The .FR country-code domain is the most widely used one among speakers of French and if you own a website in French, such a domain will be a good choice to get through to tens of millions of web users, due to the fact that a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and numerous 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 a wonderful chance for you to get through to them.

The top-level domain was established in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and firms based in France until 2011 when the process was loosened. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be obtained by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over two and a half million active domains, the .FR extension is among the most popular country-code extensions. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past couple of years.
