Can a member of the public buy a .fr here?
Its own page offers .fr through a English storefront, but on 2026-10-08 it printed no .fr price with its VAT treatment that this site could read, so it is listed on the France page as read and not ranked.
Why it is not ranked
The page reached (the English arsys.net, after a redirect from arsys.fr) prints no figure labelled .fr.
Namespaces on its own page
.com.es.fr.io
What its page printed
arsys.fr/domaines redirected to the English arsys.net/domains, which prints '25 € /year 10 € /year first year VAT not included' under 'For French websites' without naming the extension; .fr appears only in a list of extensions.
Read from https://www.arsys.fr/domaines on 2026-10-08. A storefront read establishes the language, the currency and the figure the page printed that day. It does not establish support quality, uptime or what a renewal will cost next year.
How the France storefronts were read
Eleven storefronts drawn from Afnic's directory of 333 accredited registrars (read from the directory page's own embedded data on 2026-09-29) were opened in a real browser. GoDaddy returned HTTP 403, and the IONOS, Infomaniak and Nordnet pages printed no .fr price. Seven pages printed a .fr price in euros with its tax treatment, most of them HT (excluding VAT), and five of those show a discounted first year beside a higher regular or renewal price. On 2026-10-15 the remaining 142 registrars on AFNIC's list that publish a website were opened, so every registrar on the list with a published website has now been tried: 127 were read, 15 could not be, and 7 more print a comparable .fr price. On 2026-10-20/21 the 16 storefronts that could not be read were opened again in a browser that waits longer for pages built by script, reads framed pages and follows a redirect from plain http to https: 6 were read this time, 10 still could not be, and none of those read prints a comparable .fr price. On 2026-10-08, 14 storefronts were read by hand from their own .fr pricing pages: 8 already listed here now carry a comparable .fr price, and 6 were opened for the first time, 2 of them with a comparable price.
