Hotlink Protection

I notice on c panel there is an area for hot link protection. I am wondering about this, and if it would be useful for my site. However, I have lots of links to my photomicrographs within my site itself. How do I enable it? And is there a downside to using it?

Thanks for your input.

I haven't tried enabling Hotlink Protection because trap17 offers way too much (OpaQue, if you're reading this, the bandwidth amount is just right - don't go reducing it laugh.gif). Anyways, unless you have even exceeded your bandwidth amount, and you know this because your account got suspended, then there is no need to enable Hotlink Protection. Even if you have not exceeded your bandwidth limit, but you have gotten more than 1.6 GB, then there shouldn't be a reason to turn it on. Waste trap17's bandwidth. It's there for you to use.

There is an alternative that you could try that may relieve your bandwidth. It's called the Coral Network. What is it? All you have to do is append ".nyud.net:8090" to the end of your domain. For example, instead of typing in cnn.com, you have to type in cnn.com.nyud.net:8090. What will this do? The Coral Network will take care of all your bandwidth! That's right, free bandwidth for all! But this is a hassle. I mean, your visitors will have to append .nyud.net:8090 to http://histology-world.com, right? Wrong. Between the <head> tags in your HTML pages, copy and paste the following:
CODE
<base href="http://histology-world.com.nyud.net:8090">


For this to work, you will have to use relative links instead of absolute links.

The base tag in HTML prepends whatever is in the href attribute. For example:
CODE
<img src="/banner.gif" alt="">
will actually be http://histology-world.com.nyud.net:8090/banner.gif to the browser, so the Coral Network takes care of the bandwidth that the picture uses.

And if you have doubts about Coral, don't. Many people use the Coral Network to spread videos that they have downloaded, and it works.

Good luck!

Hmm, I just checked with coral, and it seems to be down at the moment. :-/

Edit: Added the sentence after the dashed line.
