Realizing the potential for this domain name, the website was quickly vamped into a portal for potential ISP buyers. This approach worked for quite some time. Now, ISP.COM serves as one of the premier low cost Internet Service Providers and boasts a large amount of visitors to it's website. ISP.COM today offers all the Net for Less!
