.fm is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Federated States of Micronesia, an independent island nation located in the Pacific Ocean.
Registration
[edit]Except for reserved names like .com.fm, .net.fm, .org.fm and others, any person in the world can register a .fm domain for a fee, much of the income from which goes to the government and people of the islands.[citation needed]
On March 29, 2018, .fm began allowing registration of emoji domains.[1]
Domain hack
[edit]The domain name is popular (and thus economically valuable) for FM radio stations and streaming audio websites[2] (other similar ccTLDs are .am, .tv, .cd, .dj and .mu); a notable example is Last.fm, a social music website.
