Hotlinking Protection in Website Hosting
You can easily secure your content if you generate an .htaccess file within the website’s root folder, but if you do not have previous experience, you could use our hotlink protection tool. The latter comes with all website hosting packages which we offer and can be accessed via the in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. The protection could be activated in two simple steps - choose the domain or subdomain for the website in question, then pick if our system should set up the .htaccess file inside the primary folder or inside a subfolder and you shall be ready. You don't need any programming expertise or any experience with this type of matters, since there will be nothing else to do. If you would like to remove the protection at some time, you can see all of the websites which are protected within the same exact section of the CP with a Delete button alongside each one of them.
Hotlinking Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us and you notice that another person has hotlinked any of your images, you should use the protection tool that we have designed and included in our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Once you enable this function, a server-generated image will appear on the third-party Internet site rather than your actual images. You'll only have to go to the Hotlink Protection section within the CP and select the domain or subdomain which your site uses from a handy drop-down menu - it's as elementary as that. If required, you'll also have the option to activate the function just for a specific subfolder and not for the website in general. Deactivating the protection is as effortless - return to the same section, check the box next to the specific site and then press the Delete button.
