virtual ISP (virtual Internet service provider, VISP or vISP)
A virtual ISP (virtual Internet service provider, sometimes abbreviated as VISP or
vISP) is a company that offers Internet services under its own company or brand name, while
actually using the equipment and facilities of another ISP to
provide those services. A virtual ISP typically offers the all same services as a regular ISP, such
as Web
hosting, e-mail, newsgroup access, domain
name provision, and support. A number of real ISPs specialize in providing a virtual ISP setup
on a local or wider geographic basis. In some cases, the ISP offering the virtual ISP setup can
also handle billing and answer support calls for the virtual ISP company under the virtual ISP
name.
