Hotlink protection prevents other websites from directly linking to files, images or video on your website. An example of hotlinking would be using a <img> tag to display an image from your site from somewhere else on the net.
This protection preserves your privacy and your bandwidth. This system attempts to add all sites it knows you own to the list. However, you may need to add others.
To use this function you have to:
- Log-in to your cPanel control panel;
- In the "Security" section, click on "Hotlink Protection";
- Click on "Enable" to enable the function;
- Type, in the required field, the extensions you want to block.
