The Dot FR country-specific top-level extension is the most popular one amongst speakers of French and if you have a website in French, such a domain will be a good choice to contact tens of millions of World Wide Web users, since a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine positions. This doesn’t include only France, but also states with sizeable French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and a lot of the 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 excellent chance for you to get through to them.

These Days, a .FR domain can be booked by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With more than 2.5 million functioning domains, the .FR extension is amongst the most widespread country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.
