IONOS

.fr registrar in France, read from its own storefront on 2026-09-29

Accredited by Afnic

Can a member of the public buy a .fr here?

Its own page offers .fr through a French storefront, but on 2026-09-29 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 .fr page read prints no price for .fr and no currency.

Namespaces on its own page

.fr

What its page printed

The .fr product page loaded (HTTP 200) but printed no .fr price and no currency in the text read; the first address tried, /domaine/domaine-fr, returned not found.

Read from https://www.ionos.fr/domaine/fr-domaine on 2026-09-29. 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.

FAQ

Is IONOS accredited to sell .fr?
Yes. IONOS is on the accredited-registrar list Afnic publishes, read on 2026-09-29. Accreditation means the registry permits it to sell the namespace; it does not by itself mean the registrar retails .fr to the public, which is what the storefront read establishes.
What does IONOS charge for a .fr domain?
Its page offers .fr, but on 2026-09-29 it printed no .fr price with its VAT treatment that this site could read: The .fr page read prints no price for .fr and no currency.
Has this site tested IONOS?
No. We have run no support test, no transfer test and no uptime measurement on IONOS, so it carries no score and appears in no quality ranking. The .fr ranking on the France page orders registrars by one printed price only.
