101 Domains Domain Information Update ".fm" domains.

Oceanian domains: Federated States of Micronesia (.fm)

Important: When entering your search string don't write “www” or the Micronesian domain type, ie. “fm”. Therefore to search “www.101domains.fm” enter “101domains” and nothing else.

The only letters allowed within a domain name are: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Spaces are NOT ALLOWED.

Registration:

Once the domain is registered

All Micronesian domain names registered with us are stored on our international server. Domains registered with us are automatically provided with their own under-construction page - this notifies potential registrants that the name has been acquired and is now registered. The under-construction page is offered free of charge and may be used indefinitely.

It is possible for Web and/or Mail forwarding to be provided for Micronesian domains.

Domain transfer/release fees are charged are by a majority of registrars, but 101 Domains make no charge to transfer a domain to another Micronesian domain name registrar.

Background

.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 station websites (other similar ccTLDs are .am, .tv, .cd, .dj and .mu); a notable example is last.fm, a social music website. Such unconventional usage of TLDs in domain names are known as domain hacks.
