Hotlinking Protection in Cloud Website Hosting
There's a method for preventing the hotlinking of your images by using an .htaccess file inside the website’s root directory, but if you aren't very tech-savvy, we additionally offer a very user-friendly tool that will permit you to enable the protection with a couple of clicks and without writing any code. The tool can be accessed via the Hepsia Control Panel, offered with all our cloud website hosting plans and the only 2 things that you will have to pick are a domain/subdomain from a drop-down menu and whether the protection has to be activated for the main site folder or for some subfolder. Our system shall do the rest, so you shall not need to do anything else by hand on your end. If you want to disable the hotlink protection option at one point, you will simply have to return to the same section, to mark the checkbox next to it and to click on the Delete button.
Hotlinking Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you notice that someone has hotlinked any of your images, you may use the protection tool we have created and incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP. Once you activate this feature, a server-generated image shall appear on the third-party site in place of your actual images. You'll only have to visit the Hotlink Protection section within the Control Panel and select the domain or subdomain that your Internet site uses from a convenient drop-down menu - it is as simple as that. If needed, you will also have the option to activate the function only for a particular subfolder and not for the website altogether. Deactivating the protection is equally effortless - get back to the exact same section, check the box beside the particular site and then click on the Delete button.
