Knowledgebase - How to Enable Hotlink Protection

Hotlinking occurs when other sites use your images or files directly, stealing your bandwidth.

1. In cPanel, go to Hotlink Protection.

2. Enable the feature and specify which file types to protect (e.g., .jpg, .png).

3. Add exceptions if necessary.

Hotlink protection prevents resource abuse and ensures your server is used only for your own visitors.
