How can I prevent other websites from using my images or files without permission?

Hotlinking occurs when other sites use your images or files by directly linking to them, consuming your bandwidth. To stop this, enable Hotlink Protection in cPanel. This feature ensures that your files are only accessible through your website and specified domains. You can also restrict certain file types, such as images or videos, from being hotlinked, saving your bandwidth and protecting your content from unauthorized use.
