It's pretty easy.
Create a new file with notepad and call it .htaccess Make sure it has no .txt extension.
When write the following into it:

ErrorDocument 404 /404.html

and replace /404.html with any url you want (which should actually exist of course ).

1 more thing.
can i have several of those lines:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*yourdomain.com/.*$ [NC]


?
I use 4 domains at 1 hosting account

lemme reword this...
yes, you can have multiple lines like that, but your domains each should have their own directories, so you want to create a unique .htaccess file for each domain...

I have a complex dir structure:

Public_html - root dir where I have all my files from domain 1 and where sit dirs for other domains.

So i put .htaccess to public_html with protection for domain 1 i think it will block other domains no ?


So I've put protection for all domains into 1 .htaccess and uploaded htaccess into root domain - i think it's working

Just create a blank test page and hotlink one of your own pics to test for that, then type in a URL that doesn't exist and see if you go to wherever you specified for the 404s...
