Become An Isp Reseller
So what is an internet service provider and how can I plug into this profitable business?An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a business or organization that offers users access to the Internet and related services. Most telecommunications operators are ISPs. They provide services like internet transit, domain name registration and hosting, dial-up access, leased line access and colocation.
Generally, an ISP charges a monthly access fee to the consumer. The consumer then has access to the Internet for an ulimited number of hours, although the speed at which this data is transferred varies widely.
Internet connection speed can generally be divided into two categories: 1) Dialup, and 2) Broadband. Dialup connections range from free to inexpensive and require the use of a phone line. Broadband connections can be either ISDN, Wireless, Cable, DSL or Ethernet. Broadband is faster, always on, and more expensive.
Rather than having to set up all your own equipment you can be a virtual isp.
