Customer Testimonial

“We worked with EDC when we required our social domains. We received very valuable advise in securing domains on all social platforms, so that we to day have secured valuable key domains. EDC did everything from advising us in social domain strategy to require and secure the domains in a very proactive and professionel way. I can recommend everybody to seek advice and to use EDC in handling their social domains and their social domain strategy.”

Kristian Bækgaard Online Campaign Manager, Danske Spil A/S

FAQ Quick Answers

How does the order process work?

When the order has been made, we will verify it. When confirmed you will receive a confirmation with the invoice enclosed, and the amount will be charged to your credit card. If documentation is required then we will inform you. When the order has been completed you will receive a confirmation. If you pay by wire transfer then an invoice will be send and registration initiated upon confirmation of payment. We will handle the documentation such as filling out local language documents from the local hostmaster. In some cases we will need a business registration certificate from you.

"Hi, I´m Christopher Hofman Laursen, the founder of European Domain Centre. In my former company I was forced to use various domain registrars, as none of them offered all top level domains. This gave me too much extra work managing our domains and the ever nagging fear of losing a valuable domain one day. Not any more! With our service you will never end up in that situation. Join companies like Full Tilt Poker, Deutsche Telekom, OpenTable and many others and avoid juggling your domain portfolio"

1. Why should you register a French domain name?

 

43 million Frenchmen are already online, so a French domain will strengthen your local online brand profile. reports have shown that using a local country top level domain gives a credibility in the local market which far excels a .com. More than 1.5 million .fr have already been registered, so don´t wait too long to register your French domain name. .fr is the main top level domain, while com.fr is used especially by companies. Com.fr cannot be registered of the equivalent .fr domain is already registered.

2. Who can register a .FR domain ?

 

Any company or individual residing in Europe can make a French domain registration without any requirements. For registrants outside Europe a domain registration requires that you have a trademark registered in either WIPO, OHIM or INPI. The trademark does not have to match the French domain name. We will provide the required France local presence domain address via our local legal partner in Paris. This service is free of charge. Free DNS is provided for any domain registration.

3. Can I reserve the .FR domain name ?

 

As long as the domain is available, it is exposed for someone else to register. Order your .fr domain before 17h CET and the domain will be registered inside 1 hour. Nothing like a good night´s sleep!

French domain orders will be submitted instantly and activated inside 1 hour if we receive your order before 17h CET. You will then receive a confirmation of the .fr domain registration, and the domain will be pointed to your website.

What clients say about us:

"It's learning as has been using European Domain Centre since 2005, and we have consolidated most of our domains here, currently 19 domains, including our main production domains and also our development and test domains. The support experience has to date been a pleasant one, and support has been very helpful in cases where we have ordered "hard to get" national domains and been in the process of establishing a national presence. To date we have not received a "No, can't do that"-response from EDC. The user interface for administration is clean, easy to use and understand, and informative, as well as responsive. I highly recommend using European Domain Centre for domain management."

Jørn N. Hopland, It's learning as

"Part of my role as a PA at Man Investments is the registering of domain names and their renewal globally. We own over 500 domain names and deal with many registrant companies so I do have a lot of experience in this field. Right from the start of .eu the European Domain Name Centre have been extremely helpful, I had no experience of their system, the sunrise period and the following steps to take to register new .eu and subsequently .Asia. Christopher especially talked me through it all and helped with any queries and has continued to be helpful and friendly. I have nothing but good things to say about them in comparison to some of my other domain name registrants."

Davina Ramsay, Man Group plc

Remember, your .fr domain will be activated the same day if order is received before 17h CET, so go ahead and see if it is available.
