Internet Service Provider (ISP)
An organisation providing an entity or person with access to the internet. Small ISPs provide service via modem and ISDN while larger ISPs offer private line hookups. Customers are generally billed at a fixed rate per month but other charges may apply. For a fee, a website can be created and maintained on an ISP server, allowing a small organisation to have a presence on the Web with its own domain name. Code9 Shopping Cart Solutions are hosted in several ISPS world wide.
