Hotlinking Prevention Tool
Bandwidth theft or "hotlinking" is the practice of directly linking to another website's files (images, video, etc.).
That would be like someone plugging into your homes electrical outlet and using your electricity without your consent.
Not only does this steal bandwidth, some use this practice to steal video and audio files at membership web sites.
We provide a hotlinking tool within the CPanel administration area where you can enable the hotlinking tool to protect:
- Your entire web site
- Certain areas or folders of your web site
- Set by file extensions
