The presence of Internet service providers is becoming more common as more and more people use the Internet in their homes. This makes the ISP market very competitive, and it is hard to decide which ISP is best for you. Many of them offer various incentives to entice users away from their current ISP. When shopping for an ISP, there are some things you should be looking for.

The most important feature is security. With all the viruses on the Internet today, it is better to be safe than sorry. A good ISP will offer excellent virus protection, and it never hurts to have a pop up blocker, either. While these troublesome pop up ads are frustrating, they can also be harmful to your computer. Many ISPs are offering a variety of services to make the customer's experience on the Internet quicker and more enjoyable. A good ISP will also provide blocks for children so that parents can control what their children are being exposed to on the Internet and block adult material.

Another good feature of any ISP is being able to have multiple email accounts. Most ISPs provide between 5 and 10 email accounts per subscriber so that every member of the family can have their own email account. This way, fathers don't have to sort through a long list of cute forwards from his daughter's friends, and she doesn't have to be bored out of her mind scrolling through her father's stock tips. This is an excellent incentive if you have a family. Having several email accounts is a good idea, so that one can be used for business and another for personal use.

Many ISPs also offer free web space. This is great if you want your won web page but don't want the hassle of all the ads. This web space tends to be limited in size, but does come without unwanted ads of other free web spaces. A good ISP will provide web building templates and other tools such as counters to make your website more efficient. It is always a good idea to check with your ISP before using a free website for business, because some ISPs don't allow that.

An ISP can also give you the option of using it with several computers in your home. Some ISPs offer this service for free, and others charge a small fee. With multiple points of access, a parent can complete work online, while a child can research a school paper. Whatever features you are looking for, you should be able to find by shopping around the different ISPs and finding the one that is perfect for your family.
