.mp is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Northern Mariana Islands. There are a few sites related to the Northern Mariana Islands in this domain (such as governmental sites under .gov.mp and a few sites in .org.mp and .co.mp). The get.mp site allows users to register and manage .mp domains. The .mp name comes from ISO 3166<ref>Template:Cite ietf</ref> which specifies MP as the two letter designation for the Northern Mariana Islands.
Official registry siteEdit
Domain name registry services for .mp domains are operated by Saipan DataCom, a local ISP.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=iana-db-mp>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Domains with four or more characters may be purchased for $20.
