Hotlinking Protection in Cloud Web Hosting
You can easily secure your content if you set up an .htaccess file within the website’s root folder, but just in case you do not have previous experience, you should use our hotlink protection tool. The latter is included with all cloud web hosting plans we offer and can be accessed using the in-house built Hepsia CP. The protection can be enabled in 2 simple steps - select the domain or subdomain for the site in question, then pick if our system should set up the .htaccess file inside the primary folder or within a subfolder and you shall be all set. You don't require any programming expertise or any experience with such matters, as there shall be nothing else to do. If you want to remove the protection eventually, you can see all of the websites which are protected within the very same section of the CP with a Delete button beside each one of them.
Hotlinking Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us and you discover that another person has hotlinked any of your images, you can use the security tool we have developed and incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP. Once you activate this function, a server-generated image shall appear on the third-party Internet site instead of your real images. You'll only have to go to the Hotlink Protection section within the Control Panel and select the domain or subdomain which your Internet site uses from a practical drop-down menu - it is as elementary as that. If needed, you'll also have the option to activate the function for a specific subfolder and not for the website in its entirety. Deactivating the function is just as simple - go back to exactly the same section, check the box alongside the particular Internet site and then click on the Delete button.
