Register a .FR domain name and your website will target France, the second largest economy by buying power in the EU, seventh in the world! Money to spend, très bon. French is the official language in 29 countries, that adds up to about 270 million speakers. So once you’ve registered your .FR domain name, you’ll be promoting your services and products to a huge French audience with a healthy purchasing power. If you’re planning to expand globally and you're going to target France, once you've registered your .FR domain name you'll need to write original content for your website, in French of course.
A .FR domain enhances your website's visibility in search results within France. Search engines prioritize content that is relevant to the user's language and location, so a website with a .FR extension and French-language content is more likely to rank higher for French users. This approach satisfies search engine algorithms and resonates with your target audience.

You'll get a personalised email address for a more professional look, and DNS for a fast website.

The .FR domain extension is not the only domain you can register if you’d like to talk with the French. The country readily adopted several new domains, including .PARIS, .ALSACE, and .BZH. Domain name registrations were quick to accumulate with these new GeoTLDs. Using the domains to highlight a link with a region and making this part of the marketing plan – product authenticity!
With over 50 million internet users in France, a significant majority prefer local businesses with a .FR domain. Registering a .FR domain not only boosts your online presence in France but also establishes trust and credibility with the local audience.
Below are a list of the requirements and features for registering a .FR domain name.
.FR is the country code domain extension for France. Any European individual residing or legal entity having its headquarters or principal place of business in Europe or within the territories of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland can register a .FR domain name. The .FR registry does not require documentary proof of the above information at the time of registration, but if requested you will need to provide documentary proof within two weeks of the domain being registered; failure to do so could result in your domain names(s) being cancelled. | |
Please note: If you are an individual, the .FR registry will conceal your contact details so they aren't visible to the public. |
This transfer process only applies to domain names with the same Owner contact. If you require assistance transferring your domain portfolio, please contact our sales team who will be happy to help.
