'''.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 ==
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.{{cn|date=July 2024}} 

On March 29, 2018, .fm began allowing registration of [[emoji domain]]s.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Roig |first1=Jon |title=Emoji Domains: Now on .fm! |url=https://medium.com/@Emoji_Domains/emoji-domains-now-on-fm-320439007d36 |access-date=31 March 2018 |publisher=Domain Research Group}}</ref>

== Domain hack ==
The domain name is popular (and thus economically valuable) for [[FM radio]] stations and [[streaming audio]] websites<ref name="row">{{cite web |last1=Thorpe |first1=Amy |date=21 September 2023 |title=What's in a domain name? |url=https://restofworld.org/2023/whats-in-a-domain-name/ |access-date=10 July 2024 |website=[[Rest of World]]}}</ref> (other similar ccTLDs are [[.am]], [[.tv]], [[.cd]], [[.dj]] and [[.mu]]); a notable example is [[Last.fm]], a social music website.
