HotLink Prevention
Hotlinking is when another web site owner links directly
to one or more of your images or multimedia files and
includes it on their web page. Not only is this theft
of your intellectual property, you are paying for the
bandwidth used by that site. Refer to this article
for more information on hotlinking.
CPanel can prevent hotlinking by only allowing named
sites (such as your own web site) to access files on
your site.
To prevent hotlinking:
-
Click on the HotLink Protection
button on the home page.
-
Enter any other addresses that you will allow to
access your site other than the provided defaults
in the central area.
-
Enter the protected extensions in the Extensions
to allow field. Make sure you separate
each extension with a comma.
-
Enter the address to redirect any hotlinking to
in the Url to Redirect to field.
-
Click on the Allow direct requests
tick box if you want to allow direct URL access
to non-HTML files, such as images.
-
Click on the Activate button.
