- After logging into the cPanel, click Hotlink Protection under Security category.
- Hotlink Protection prevents other websites from directly linking to certain files (typically images) on your website.
- You will want to prevent this if you have Copyrighted images, or to simplify Save on bandwidth usage.
- You will first want to make sure your own sites are listed in URLs to allow access. So you are able to hotlink to your images.
- Enter all the file types you want protected and if you want to allow people to be able to manually enter the URL of a protected file, click this box ‘Allow direct requests’.
- Then enter a URL you want to redirect to, for anyone who tries to hotlink to your files or images.
- Click Submit and you have successfully enabled hotlink protection.
- To disable hotlink protection, click Disable button.
