Hotlinking Protection in Cloud Website Hosting
You can easily secure your content if you create an .htaccess file inside the website’s root folder, but in case you don't have previous experience, you should use our hotlink protection tool. The latter is provided with all cloud website hosting packages that we offer and could be accessed from the in-house built Hepsia CP. The protection could be activated in 2 simple steps - choose the domain or subdomain for the website in question, then choose if our system should set up the .htaccess file inside the primary folder or inside a subfolder and you'll be ready. You don't need any coding expertise or any experience with this sort of matters, due to the fact that there will be nothing else to do. If you would like to turn off the protection at some time, you will be able to see all the websites which are protected inside the exact same section of the Control Panel with a Delete button alongside each one of them.
Hotlinking Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you do not want other individuals to use your images on their sites without your authorization, you may easily switch on the hotlink security feature, that's supplied with all semi-dedicated server plans. Rather than generating an .htaccess file manually in the site folder and writing some code within it, which is the traditional approach to deny direct linking to files, you could use an exceptionally simple tool, which we've included in the Hepsia CP. By using it, you will only need to select the site that has to be secured and our system shall do the rest. Furthermore, you can make a decision whether the .htaccess file needs to be created directly within the root folder or in a subfolder, when you want to enable the hotlink security function only for some content and not for the whole site. Deactivating it is just as simple - you will only need to mark the checkbox alongside the respective Internet site and to click on the Delete button.
