You can do this via .htaccess either by adding the file to each root directory of the site, or adding the code to the specific container in the httpd.conf file.
There are a few different ways to do this.
1. To replace the hotlinked image with a 'nohotlink.jpg' image, put the following into the .htaccess file:
Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?mysite\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/nohotlink.jpe [L]
2. To prevent linking from specific outside domains like myspace.com, youtube.com, etc..
Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?mysite\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/nohotlink.jpe [L]
To just show a 403 error, replace the last lines in the previous examples with
Code:
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ - [F]
I have had my hosting with AYK since 2006, and it has by far been the best experience I have ever had with any hosting company. The support is always spot on and available around the clock, excellent for me since I'm always working on things at odd hours. They make upgrading to fit needs very clean and easy, the cost is excellent for services received, and they have me as a customer for life.
I love AYK. been with them for over 5 years and the best ever
Ayksolutions Customer Reviews Prompt, professional, efficient. I am currently using a shared account and plan on upgrading to a dedicated server...eventually when traffic picks up. The Ayk team is quick to reply to any concerns and does the best they can to correct the situation. I strongly recommend them for hosting.
