[Lox]

According to a survey commissioned by Afnic, the association responsible for .fr domain names, the .fr TLD inspires trust among 89% of under 25s.

This Internet Top Level Domain has confirmed its strength (over 3.4 million holders) and its attractiveness among young people. The online survey conducted in November 2019 among a panel of 509 young people also showed that:

• 58% consider that the .fr has a “very good reputation”;
• 40% consider that the .fr has a “fairly good reputation”.

Pierre Bonis, CEO of Afnic, commended these results: “Young people create websites as part of their school, university and professional assignments. The .fr is a reliable and successful TLD; they are our future users and it is our job to give them all the information they need to ensure a controlled and independent online presence”.

Afnic raises the awareness of over 17,000 VSEs/SMEs every year regarding their online presence and has been running a programme to help young people master their digital identity since 21 October 2019.
