.fm is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Federated States of Micronesia, a group of islands located in the Pacific Ocean.

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. The domain name is popular (and thus economically valuable) for FM radio stations and streaming audio websites (other similar ccTLDs are .am, .tv, .cd, .dj and .mu); a notable example is Last.fm, a social music website. Such unconventional usages of TLDs in domain names are known as domain hacks.

Social media use

The .fm domain extension has also been used by various companies outside of the audio streaming industry or the Federated States of Micronesia. One example, Ping.fm, is a social networking tool allowing users to update various social media services directly from their website. Other examples include Last.fm, an Internet radio streaming and statistics service, Smart.fm, an online learning tool,Tastebuds.fm, a dating website for music lovers, Turntable.fm, a social media website that allows users to interactively share music and CHARGED.fm, an event marketing and social ticketing site. Many commercial radio stations also use the domain extension.
