The .FR country-specific top-level extension is the most popular one amongst French speakers and if you have a website in French, such a domain name will be a good choice to contact tens of millions of net users, taking into consideration that a .FR domain is more probable to have better French search engine standings. This doesn’t include only France, but also states 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 usually use French electronic mail providers and search online for French websites, so this is an ideal way for you to reach them.

The top-level extension was created in 1986, but registrations were restricted to individuals and firms situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized.

With over 2.5 million active registrations, the dot FR top-level domain extension is among the most popular country-code domains.
