All prices in USD for a one-year term, as published by each registrar. Registry and ICANN fees are included where the registrar includes them; taxes are not. Confirm at checkout before buying.
Save $1.55 over five years by not staying put.
The cheapest single registrar for five years is Dynadot at $32.75. Splitting the name across two registrars costs $31.20 — 5% less:
- Register at Wix for the first year.
- Transfer to Dynadot before it renews. An inbound transfer adds a year, so this covers year two.
- Renew at Dynadot for years three to five.
Registries require a name to be 60 days old before it can transfer, so plan the move for renewal time rather than straight after registering.

.fr frequently asked questions
01How much does a .fr domain cost?
The cheapest first year we found is $5.00 at Wix. Renewal matters more: the cheapest renewal is $6.55 at Dynadot, so five years costs $31.20.
02Does .fr get more expensive after the first year?
Renewal is 31% above the first year, so what you see at sign-up is close to what you keep paying.
03What is the cheapest way to hold a .fr for five years?
Register at Wix, then transfer to Dynadot before the first renewal — an inbound transfer adds a year. That costs $31.20 against $32.75 at the cheapest single registrar, saving $1.55.
04Who runs the .fr registry?
The IANA root database records the sponsoring organisation for .fr. Registrars sell .fr names on the registry's behalf; the registry sets the wholesale price.
05Are there restrictions on registering .fr?
AFNIC eligibility rules generally require EU/EEA residency for individuals or an EU/EEA establishment for organizations.
