What is ISP?
ISP stands for Internet Service Provider. This is the company that provides user access to the Internet, usually for a monthly fee. Services offered may include the World Wide Web, e-mail and other communication methods such as Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Generally, an ISP will provide access to the Internet for these services through a standard or enhanced phone line, or through coaxial cable. ISP’s may also offer ancillary services such as search engines and community forums. Currently, the largest ISP in the United States is America Online.
