In 1994 Bob Johns, founder of Coast Internet saw a need for cost effective, reliable, feature rich hosting services. He knew that web-masters would love the product and that the customers would enjoy having their sites securely hosted on our servers.  Bob has more than fourty years experience in the computer industry.

Although Bob is entering semi-retirement he is still available for custom design and still offers valuable insight to the overall direction of Coast Internet.

Jeremy Dickieson and Gwen Donley-Dickieson offer over a decade of experience in the IT industry and will continue to provide Coast Internet customers the same fantastic service that our customers are used to.

We strive to earn your trust and encourage you to share your feedback with us so we can improve your services. Telling your friends and colleagues is always great too!!

It is our experience that web-masters generally know how to develop HTML and upload it via FTP to the server. In spite of that, it is fair to say that we do often find ourselves providing complete "hand-holding" help. And if anything does go wrong with our service, you can be sure that we'll be right there fixing it.

As well as your HTML development software, you'll need a decent FTP client, which you can download (usually free) from the internet.  Here is a link to Core FTP, which is a complete FTP program and is free: CORE FTP

The CPanel control panel which you will use to control your website is very easy to use. If you do need some help in using it, here is a link to CPanel's complete documentation

In real emergencies, please contact us at coastalnet@shaw.ca
