Recognised for its reliability and its proximity, the .fr TLD is a common good that now totals more than 4 million domain names. Simple and accessible, it allows businesses and private individuals alike to develop an effective and controlled digital territory.
With a market share in France of almost 40% and gaining ground over the last few years, .fr is carving out a place as the benchmark TLD supporting the online presence of businesses, private individuals, associations and public organisations. Between 12,000 and 16,000 new domain names are created every week with a current total of over 4 million Internet addresses. This momentum is mainly driven by the digital transformation of French VSEs/SMEs, increasing numbers of which are taking the leap with the addition of a website and a .fr address to raise their profile. The result is that more than 50% of small companies with a website opt for a .fr address, a trusted TLD that is not only easy to register but also inexpensive.
The proximity and support that come with it are also factors in its success. 400 registrars across France distribute the .fr TLD to respond to the needs of businesses and private individuals. In addition, Afnic supports several thousand small businesses looking to develop an online presence for their activity every year through the ‘Réussir en .fr’ (‘Succeed with .fr’) programme.
