ISP (Internet Service Provider)

An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a company that provides individuals and organizations access to the internet. ISPs offer various services, including broadband, dial-up, or fiber-optic connections. They connect users to the web by allowing them to send and receive data, access websites, and use online services. In addition to internet access, many ISPs also offer related services, such as email accounts, web hosting, and technical support. Examples of ISPs include Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon. Essentially, if you want to go online, your ISP is the service provider that makes that possible.
