.FR Domains

The .FR country-code extension is the most popular one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be an excellent choice to contact tens of millions of Internet users, because a .FR domain is more probable to have higher French search engine rankings. This doesn’t include only France, but also countries with large French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and many of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries frequently use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great chance for you to get through to them.

With more than 2.5 million functioning domains, the .FR domain extension is among the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has expanded with a whole million over the past several years.
