Using Hotlink protection in CPANEL - CPANEL Video Tutorials (CPANEL 11)

Hotlink protection prevents other websites from directly linking to files on your website. This means that when other website is loaded, it can not load images from your website. This is one of the ways to limit out bound traffic on your account. You can select the Hotlink protection in cPanel's main page and follow the instructions. You can include the websites, for which you can allow the access to your website. In order to get certain type of files accessed, you can give their extensions in the space provided. For example, you may allow the access of images but not the audio and video visuals. Control Panel attempts to add all the domain names that you own with Site Ground to the allowed list, still if you have accounts on other servers you may need to have some of them added manually. Make sure that you include all sites that need to access your protected files in the first bank field or they will not be able to view the files. If you still cannot view a file, try disabling Hotlink Protection to check if it is the cause of problem.
