Lets face it loosing bandwidth and paying out of your own pocket for people that cheat the system sucks shit. I have had it happen to me (GRRR). As a new adult webmaster figuring out how to make money is hard enough mistakes that cost money are even worse.
After searching forums, reading tutorials and testing my own sites and other websites located on the large TGP's of the web i found alot of webmasters have not protect thier servers properly. My mainstream business is computer repair / maintance I have wrote articles on PC protection using hardware firewalls, sypware removal etc. etc. you can read some of them at www.E-Axis-Inc.com my goal has always been to help people, show them free software that can help them protect there PC's now it seems I have found a new group of people to help as i learn myself!
The first thing to do on your Adult webserver is place an HTACCESS file in your image folder. This file will allow you to control many differnet elements of the folder itself.
- Step 1 - Create a Text File called htaccess.txt copy the lines in Example HTACCESS.TXT
- Step 2 - Replace the words yourdomainname.com with your REAL domain name
- Step 3 - Upload to your webserver
- Step 4 - Rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess
- Step 5 - Test to Verify Hot Linking to your Images is now Disabled!
Test Your Website for Image Hot-Linking!
