.COM registration covers one standard .COM domain at 19.90 EUR excluding tax per year. With the displayed French VAT rate of 20 percent, the consumer price is 23.88 EUR including tax per year. .COM is an unrestricted generic international extension: no documentary proof or special eligibility condition is required, and an individual, business, association or other organization anywhere in the world may apply. Allocation follows the first-come, first-served rule. A name may contain alphabetic and numeric characters and hyphens, but it cannot begin or end with a hyphen; upper and lower case are treated alike. Once registered, the domain name itself cannot be changed. Some high-value strings may be classified as premium by the registry only after the application is submitted. If that happens, the customer is informed of the surcharge and may either confirm the higher-priced registration or cancel the request. The package includes 2 custom email addresses, 1 GB of email storage, antivirus protection, one anti-advertising and anti-spam protection, POP, IMAP and webmail. The in-house customer area provides access to email creation, DNS pointing, domain redirection, invoices, expiry dates and renewals. Three additional email addresses can be added for 1.66 EUR excluding tax per month. The registrant becomes the domain holder and can verify the registration through WHOIS. Viaduc aims to transmit complete registration data to the relevant registry within 48 hours, although an availability result can occasionally lag a registration already in progress. If the registry rejects a name that was presented as available, the price is refunded unless the refusal results from illegality or infringement of third-party rights. A .COM transfer is treated as a new registration and therefore costs the same 19.90 EUR excluding tax. Before transfer, the domain normally must be at least 60 days old, unlocked, unexpired, associated with current contact information and supported by an EPP or authorization code. The administrative contact must approve the confirmation email within 7 days or the request is cancelled. The transfer guidance gives a usual duration of 5 to 7 days and elsewhere allows 5 to 10 days, so starting at least one month before expiry is recommended. A transfer changes the registrar rather than the holder or the attached hosting and email services; DNS records are generally retained, but they should be checked after completion. No refund is due when a transfer fails for reasons outside the provider's responsibility. A domain is reserved for one year by default and may be registered or renewed for periods from 1 to 10 years. Renewal can be handled from the customer area, and reminders begin 30 days before expiry. The current tariff at renewal applies. If the name expires, restoration costs 45 EUR excluding tax when requested within 40 days and 120 EUR excluding tax after that, in addition to the normal price. Payment is accepted by credit card, PayPal, bank transfer and check. Consumers have a statutory 14-day withdrawal period; reimbursement is made within 14 days using the original payment method, but a customer who expressly requests early performance remains liable for the portion already supplied and may expressly waive withdrawal for that performance.
Nom-domaine.fr is Viaduc's French domain-management platform, operated from Angers since 2004. It presents more than 200 extensions, human support in France, 20,000 professional customers and a stated customer-loyalty or renewal rate above 97 percent. Specialists are available Monday through Friday, with assistance by phone, email, SMS and WhatsApp and a dedicated adviser for domain-management questions. The provider says its solutions are designed, delivered and hosted in France, with server monitoring around the clock. A registered domain can identify a company, project, personal site or blog and supports professional email addresses that remain portable when the internet-access provider changes. A name may also be held defensively without an active website, but registering a domain is not the same as registering a trademark. The customer remains responsible for spelling, legality, naming-policy compliance and avoiding conflicts with trademarks, corporate names and other third-party rights. A strong name is generally short, relevant, memorable, easy to spell and simple enough to test with other people; keywords can help describe an activity, while simplicity and originality should be balanced. If the preferred name is unavailable, alternatives include another extension, a synonym or a hyphenated variation, or monitoring the existing registration for a future lapse; monitoring improves awareness but cannot guarantee recovery. The home page also promotes a limited .FR offer free for the first year, while the standard tariff table lists .FR at 19.90 EUR excluding tax per year.

. Founded by Mickael Esnault, the company has built its business around domain registration, shared web hosting, website creation, email and digital-marketing services. Its customer base is primarily made up of French small and medium-sized businesses, artisans, retailers, associations and organizations looking for a provider that can combine hosting with hands-on web assistance. Viaduc has grown to around
over more than two decades of operation.
rather than server infrastructure. The portfolio combines shared hosting, domain registration, professional email, SSL certificates, website creation and related digital services. VPS, standard cloud-server packages, reseller hosting, Windows hosting and dedicated servers are not part of the regular hosting catalog.
. Présence includes 1 GB of storage and two databases, Premium increases this to 3 GB and five databases, Optimum provides 5 GB and 20 databases, Puissance includes 10 GB and 40 databases, while Intégral reaches 20 GB of storage and 80 databases. Traffic is unlimited across the range, and the plans include a domain name and technical assistance.
, making it suitable for traditional PHP websites and widely used CMS applications. WordPress and comparable PHP/MySQL applications can be installed, while Windows technologies such as ASP are not supported. The relatively modest storage allocations make the service especially appropriate for conventional corporate websites, professional presentation sites and smaller online shops rather than storage-heavy or highly resource-intensive applications.
One of Viaduc's strongest characteristics is the combination of hosting with direct assistance. The service is designed for businesses that may also need help with domain names, email, website development, SEO or other online services instead of simply purchasing unmanaged disk space.
Daily technical backups are maintained as part of the hosting infrastructure. Customers are nevertheless responsible for keeping their own regular backups and retaining copies of important website data. The provider-side backups are therefore an additional recovery mechanism rather than a replacement for an independent backup strategy.
Domain registration has been an important part of the business since its early years. Viaduc handles more than
and supports registrations, transfers, renewals, DNS management, domain recovery and monitoring. Professional email functionality is available alongside domain services, including antivirus and antispam protection, POP, IMAP and Webmail. Domain packages can include two email addresses, while additional mailbox capacity can be added separately.
, allowing customers to choose between basic domain validation and higher levels of business validation. SSL pricing starts at approximately €29 excluding VAT per year.
Viaduc is also a full-service web agency. The
package starts at €19 excluding VAT per month and combines a website-building environment with domain registration, hosting and SSL. Customers wanting the company to handle more of the website creation process can choose the managed
service, starting at approximately €49 per month plus setup costs.
e-commerce projects from €3,499. Hosting, SSL, security, maintenance and other recurring services can represent additional ongoing costs depending on the project.
The wider service portfolio includes SEO, Google Ads campaign management, social-media management, logo creation and an email/SMS/CRM platform. This makes Viaduc particularly useful for businesses wanting to consolidate multiple web and marketing services with a single French provider.
The main Viaduc website has a modern design, although some of the older domain and hosting sections still retain a more traditional layout. The service is strongly oriented toward the French market. The website is primarily available in
, and no complete multilingual/localized version exists. Prices are denominated in
and are generally displayed excluding VAT.
