.fm
Federated States of Micronesia ccTLD adopted by audio brands.
.fm was issued for the Federated States of Micronesia. Its accidental match with FM radio pulled it into the audio world: podcasts, music streaming products (last.fm), and radio-flavoured brands. Last.fm cemented the connotation in the late 2000s.
Pricing is steeply premium because audio is a popular brand category. Renewals can also be lumpy — some registrars require two-year purchase. Worth it for an audio brand; otherwise a curiosity.
Best for
podcasts, music products, audio-first brands.
Renewal price across registrars $80–$140 per year. First-year promotional pricing may differ.
