.am is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Armenia, a former republic of the Soviet Union. Except for reserved names like .com.am, .net.am, .org.am and others, any person in the world can register a .am domain for a fee.
For religious reasons, Armenian law prohibits its domain names from being used for obscene sites.
The domain name is popular (and thus economically valuable) due to it being a mnemonic for AM radio, and because the domain name I.am is possible (other similar ccTLDs are .fm, .tv, and .cd).
The registry for .am is operated by ISOC-AM , the local chapter of the Internet Society.
