For these activities, registering a .fr domain name is not only a guarantee of proximity and responsiveness but also a sign that the offer has been designed for France. It therefore complies with regulations protecting French consumers.Hosting a .fr domain name = Stability, performance and security

This advantage allows .fr domain names to be accessible from any point on the Internet. This reliability and security have been reinforced since 2010 by the implementation of DNSSEC, an Internet protocol which guarantees the integrity of DNS information coming from the .fr zone. Technically, a .fr domain name can contain 2 to 63 alphanumeric characters.
