.FR domain name registrations increased by 21 per cent in 2009 according to the latest Domain Name Industry report released by AFNIC, the registry for .FR domains.

      The growth in .FR registrations is a ten point percentage lead over the average growth rate for other top level domains, although the growth in .FR was held back by restrictive registration practices that were only eased in the last few years. In 2009 an additional 300,000 domain names were registered.

      Other highlights of the report was research that found a strong preference by French people for .FR domain names with 78 per cent of respondents believing that a .FR domain name shows a link to France, while three-quarters (76%) of respondents use the .FR ending when they are choosing domain names to use.
