Title: What is HotLink Protection

Category: cPanel  •  Tutorial Type: text  •  Added: 1252274700 •

Solution

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). An example of hotlinking would be using a <img> tag to display an image from your site from somewhere else on the net. The end result is that the other site is stealing your bandwidth.
