FastMail owns fastmail.COM?!
Am I the only one to whom it's news that FM now owns fastmail.COM?

fastmail.com is way way way better than fastmail.fm.. It still sounds like an american fastfood chain though. |

You're right, we recently completed the purchase of fastmail.com after a couple of years of trying.
We've got a bunch of plans around it that we're working on, but nothing to announce yet. |

Congrats on finally snagging it
 . I hope you'll set it up so FMusers can receive email sent to it? Even as an FM user with a personal domain, I've sometimes found myself referring to fastmail.fm as .com incorrectly. So I'm sure a ton of misdirected mail intended for FM users goes to the .com. |

Sure hope we can snag the .com version of our current .fm names. At least give us first crack? Price paid? Come on, just a hint.  |

Great news indeed! Now I won't have to explain the "dot FM" thing to people. :-) I hope FM allows the full use of the new domain name soon.
Please do post an update in this thread! |
