Internet Aaccess Provider is a company through which you can attach to the Internet. In contrast, an ISP, Internet Service Provider, hosts your website.

Things to look for in an IAP

High speed. Measure the transmission speed other customers are getting before you sign up. Don’t trust the salesmen.
Ask other customers about reliability.
