Research brief
The .fm facts that change the decision
This page separates registry policy, public market evidence and registrar pricing. A sample is labeled as a sample; a rule is labeled as a rule; and a checkout quote is never presented as a registry statistic.

IANA .fm delegation recordRegistration rule
First come, first served
The .FM registry says it registers second-level .fm names on a first-come, first-served basis and does not evaluate whether a registration could infringe a third party's rights.
.FM registry policyDispute framework
UDRP adopted
The .FM registry policy states that it has adopted the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy. An available result is therefore not trademark clearance.

How to find a strong available .fm
Treat availability as the start of the decision, not the finish. A usable name also needs to be easy to communicate, defensible and fairly priced.
- 01
Start with a name that earns .fm
Explain whether .fm means radio or the country code and make the player, schedule and rights information easy to find.
- 02
Search the exact label first
Keep the search scoped to this extension, then compare the exact label with closely related endings before accepting a spelling compromise.
- 03
Check rights and pronunciation
An available result is not trademark clearance. Say the name aloud, check local implications and review the registrar’s final eligibility rules.

Renews from $88.99
