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

Today, a dot FR domain can be ordered by anybody from the European Union, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active registrations, the dot FR domain extension is one of the most popular country-specific domains.
