The .FR country-code extension is the most widely used one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to reach tens of millions of web users, having in mind that a dot FR domain is more likely to have higher French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a number of 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 an ideal way for you to get in touch with them them.

The top-level domain name extension was started in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and corporations based in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a .FR domain can be acquired by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million active domains, the dot FR top-level domain extension is amongst the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.
