Hotlink Protection

Hotlink protection prevents other websites from directly linking to files (as specified below) on your website. Other sites will still be able to link to any file type that you don’t specify below (ie. html files). An example of hotlinking would be using a <img> tag to display an image from your site from somewhere else on the net. The end result is that the other site is stealing your bandwidth. List all sites below from which you wish to allow direct links. This system attempts to add all sites it knows you own to the list; however, you may need to add others.

Hotlink protection is currently “disabled”.

Configure Hotlink Protection

NOTE: You must select the “Allow direct requests” checkbox when you use hotlink protection for files that you want visitors to view in QuickTime (for example, Mac Users).
