People from all these countries frequently use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is an excellent means for you to get in touch with them them.

The top-level domain was created in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and companies located in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. Nowadays, a dot FR domain can be booked by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2.5 million functioning domains, the dot FR domain extension is among the most widespread country-code domains. And this number has risen with a whole million over the past several years.

Many hosting providers, above all resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain name with them.
