Coastline provides World Wide Web page hosting and e-mail services. Coastline's general policy is to act as a neutral provider of hosting services to the global Internet. Coastline reserves the right to suspend or cancel a customer's access to any or all services provided by Coastline when Coastline decides that the account has been inappropriately used.

Server Use
Web sites are to be used by the primary owner only. Customers are not permitted to resell, store, or give away web hosting services off of their web site to other parties. Web hosting services are defined as allowing a separate, third party to host content on the owner's web site. Exceptions to this include ad banners, classified ads, and personal ads.

Domain pointers are to be used for the purpose of having more than one way to find the same site, not for the purpose of sharing an account among multiple sites. A domain pointer may not be set up to reference a subdirectory within an existing Web hosting account served by Coastline or any other provider. Domain pointers are not to be used as a substitute for purchasing separate accounts.

Coastline reserves the right to refuse service and /or access to its servers to anyone.
