.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.
