.am is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Armenia.
The registry for .am is operated by ISOC-AM, the local chapter of the Internet Society.
Regulatory notes:
Domains within the .am ccTLD enjoy popularity due to the connection to AM radio (similar to the .fm and .tv ccTLDs), and the ability to form English words ending in "am" — e.g. the mobile photo sharing service Instagram uses the Armenian domain name Instagr.am. Such unconventional usage of TLDs in domain names are called domain hacks.
