Hotlink Protection in cPanel Flash Tutorial

Got a great site? So popular that you are transferring lots of your monthly data transfer because people love your content? Congratulations.

Well, what if another site was stealing your images and files by linking to them directly, and pretending it's theirs. Even worse, they are also stealing your bandwidth so your visitors don't have it. This is known as hotlinking, and is very unethical.

ServerGrade offers our clients advanced hotlink protection to eliminate this situation. Simply activate it from your cPanel control panel, and all attempts to retrieve image files linked from other sites are blocked.

The following flash tutorial guides you through adding Hotlink Protection in cPanel control panel.

See further cPanel Flash tutorials or our support pages for more information. The answers to general and pre-purchase questions can be seen in our FAQ.
