Are you serious? There only on of the biggest, heavily guarded, internet service providers. The initials use to stand for America Online. I did like AOL too much because the were a dial up service, but now the have a solid high-speed service. I hope this is the AOL you are talking about...

AOL LLC (formerly America Online, Inc) is a United States-based online service provider, bulletin board system, and media company operated by Time Warner. Based in Dulles, Virginia, with regional branches around the world, the former "goliath among Internet service providers" had at one time a customer base that reached over 30 million subscribers and spanned several continents. For many, particularly in America, AOL was the Internet during the mid-to-late-1990s.
AOL is often regarded as the most difficult internet service to cancel from, which leads to its now tainted reputation.
In 2000 AOL and Time Warner announced plans to merge, in a deal approved by the FTC on January 11, 2001. The deal came to exemplify the bursting of the Internet bubble, and was later considered one of the worst corporate mergers in history, destroying over $200 billion in shareholder value.
AOL is a company in transition, made evident by discussions of buy-outs and joint ventures during a period of dramatic decline in AOL's subscriber base. News reports in fall 2005 identified companies such as Yahoo!, Microsoft, and Google as candidates for turning AOL into a joint venture; those plans were apparently abandoned when it was revealed on December 20, 2005 that Google would purchase a 5% share of AOL for $1 billion. As of July 2006, the transition continues, with the decline of AOL subscriber base reaching less than 19 million subscribers in a year that saw PC World declare it the worst tech product of all time.

AOL stands for American Online, which is an internet service provider available throughout most of the United States and certain locations overseas.
However, it can also refer to a variety of things, such as an instant messenger program (AOL/AIM) or the website itself.
