This website is run
by the owner of American Virtual
Communities, a web services company based in
Washington state. Our business is Internet
Service and Web Hosting. We also buy and
sell Domain names. Our ISP business website
is here www.ncwonline.com
Our web hosting website is here www.avc.us
Most other information about this site is on
the front page of the web site, In case you
need to read it again here it is:
ISP-America is a website dedicated to the
Small Internet Service Provider in the USA.
Though ISP owners from other countries are
welcome also.
The forum is private and is password
protected. We do not want the public peeking
in on our private discussions and knowing
the behind the scenes details of how the ISP
business works.
Why join our discussion group? We as
small ISP owners are not each others competition,
our real competition is the big companies
such as AOL Earthlink etc.
In our local area as small ISP owners we
were forced to come together as a group
because we provide fiber to the home in 2
local counties through 2 local public
utility districts. The PUD's as we call them
would only deal with us as a group.
We started a lunch time discussion group
after the PUD meetings and discovered how
enjoyable it was to talk with others who
knew what we were talking about, were not
bored talking tech and that were going
through everything that we were with
equipment, deadbeat customers and everything
else that comes up when running a
"Small" or "Micro" ISP
with a few hundred to a few thousand
customers.
There are a lot of mistakes to be made in
this business. If I can help any new or
existing ISP owners to not fall into these
traps or make the same mistakes that I did
well, why shouldn't I. Because I spend so
much time setting behind the computer and in
the office dealing with the business I have
few local friends. Lots of my friends come
from within the computer world and communicate
with me through the computer. Why fight it.
So here we go with this website. Join me and
everyone else who participates.
We will discuss every possible aspect of
being in this business no-holds-barred and
everything goes. Things that are vital to
running a small ISP such as what really
works and what not to waste your money on
for advertising. What works for technical
aspects of this business. How to deal with
customers for almost every problem that
comes up. And are you ready for this? You
may not believe this but I now have a way to
guarantee that you do not ever lose money
from another deadbeat customer who does not
pay on time. I swear it works every single
time and this is not a joke it's the real
deal from an ISP owner in the business for 5
yrs and who has lost thousands of $$ from
none paying jerks. NEVER AGAIN will I lose a
single dime! How about you?
To join this group you will need to pass
these simple requirements. You must really
own an ISP business. You must have an ISP
website, You must be able to receive email
from the account webmaster@your-isp-name.com
and you must provide a business phone number
that is answered as your business name.
Everything will be verified. Please do not
ask to join if you are just thinking of
starting an ISP.
