This is exclusive of the Crores that the candidates and political parties shall be funnelling out, in black or white.
Well, here is a chance for you to become an mp, without all those hassles. And it is free.... Free as in freebie; not as in freedom ;). I just mean that you can get your own website, with the extension .mp, free of cost. .mp, is the ccTLD for the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands (CNMI), like .in stands for India. They do say a lot of things about this service at
http://chi.mp/about_chimp.
https://get.mp/ also explains why .mp is being made free. You also get the software/interface required to manage the site along with the domain name. The domain cannot be used separately from the
chi.mp service.
Any way, it is worth giving a try and it doesnt cost you a dime. All you have to do is
go to
http://www.chi.mp/ and
- Check if the desired name is available
- Register the domain name
- Play with the various options to get a beautiful website.
Statutory Warning: Revealing contact information on the internet could be dangerous.
For those of my friends who were upset about me not having a website, can find one at
shijualex.mp . See you on the web!!
