Who is an ISP?
ISP stands for Internet Service Provider. Some entity (provider) must act as a gateway (service) to the Internet. Almost without fail, the ISP offers one, or more, email POP boxes as part of its service. These ISP email POP boxes are usually known as “destination” email addresses. Most email is retrieved at the ISP level, but not all as we shall see in the cases of hosting companies (explained below.) 7. Explain “hosting companies.” This is the computer server source where Internet domains (web sites) reside to be “served up” to the public. They may, or may not, offer a gateway to the Internet. However, they do provide email disk space for domain email addresses of the domains they host. The email feature they offer may be a pure POP box email address, or a “forwarded email address,” or, both.
