Hotlinking Protection in Shared Hosting
You can easily secure your content if you set up an .htaccess file within the website’s root folder, but in case you don't have previous experience, you could use our hotlink protection tool. The latter is provided with all shared hosting packages we offer and could be accessed using the in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. The protection could be enabled in 2 easy steps - pick the domain or subdomain for the site in question, then choose if our system should create the .htaccess file within the primary folder or within a subfolder and you will be good to go. You do not need any coding skills or any experience with this kind of matters, because there shall be nothing else to do. If you'd like to turn off the protection eventually, you will be able to see all the websites which are protected inside the very same section of the CP with a Delete button next to each one of them.
Hotlinking Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you don't want others to use your images on their sites without your consent, you can easily activate the hotlink security function, that's supplied with all semi-dedicated server package deals. As opposed to creating an .htaccess file yourself inside the Internet site folder and writing some code within it, which is the conventional way to deny direct linking to files, you may use an exceedingly simple tool, that we've integrated into the Hepsia CP. Using it, you will simply have to select the site which should be secured and our system shall do the rest. Optionally, you can make a decision if the .htaccess file will be created straight inside the root folder or in a subfolder, if you would like to activate the hotlink protection feature just for some content and not for the entire website. Stopping it is just as easy - you will only need to mark the checkbox alongside the specific website and to click on the Delete button.
