Most ISPs offer the same types of internet services to customers. These services can include:
Internet access (an ISP has the equipment and the telecommunication line access that is required to connect users to the internet)
Email access (ISPs can help you to create functioning email accounts and email addresses so that you can communicate via email)
Domain name registration (if you would like to create a website for your business or if you would like an email address that reflects your business name, then you would need to register a domain)
Web hosting (web hosting is a service that makes it possible for you to post a website or web page onto the internet)
Co-location or data centre services (a data centre facility where you can rent space for servers and other computing hardware)
Some ISPs also provide services such as website design or development of e-commerce facilities.
Before you contact an ISP to connect you, remember that you will first need a computer or a computerised mobile device, a modem (which most ISPs sell), and a telephone line or a data line (this can also be installed by your internet service provider or by another third party).
