If you want to obtain a dot FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go live nearly right away.

Many hosting firms, mainly resellers, don’t offer the full set of records, so you can’t really host a dot FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel – you’ll be able to modify the WHOIS information at any time, to create and to edit Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
