Hotlink protection  

Overview 

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). You can use hotlink protection to 

keep other sites from linking to your images, videos, and other files. If another 

site links directly to your images or other files, they will be using your bandwidth 

to display those files rather than theirs.
