ISP

Short for Internet Service Provider, an ISP is a company that provides Internet access to users and/or subscribers of its service. Generally, an ISP will give you an Internet account (access to the Internet), e-mail address, web space for your own web page for around $20.00 U.S. dollars a month. Prices may vary in other countries.

Other services such as commercial online services like AOL allow access to proprietary features such as chat rooms, stocks, software, more support, and accessibility globally. However, may cost additional money.

AOL, Earthlink, and MSN are just a few of the largest and well known Internet service providers in the United States.
