Presentation

The AFNIC (French Network Information Center), is a non-profit making organization governed by the July 1 1901 law. The AFNIC is the registry for the Internet domain names .fr (France) and .re (Reunion Island).

It was created jointly in December 1997 by the INRIA (The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control) and the French Government, represented by the Ministries of Telecommunications, Industry and Research.

AFNIC includes public and private Internet players: users (legal entities and individuals), domain name registrars (Internet services providers), international entities and public authoritative representatives.

Fully fledged Network Information Centre, AFNIC offers Internet users the opportunity to access the Internet with confidence.
