Is there a way to stop someone from hotlinking pictures on your site? Someone did this to me and used up ALL 10 gigs in one day. WTF??!!!

UltraSonic · 11-27-2004, 02:35 PM

Use .htaccess or buy any anti hotlink script

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

the rewritecond allows you to specify what domains can link the images
the rewriterule redirects them.

the hahaha123 are supposed to be brackets

If you check your traffic files you can quite easily find which site(s) are hotlinking your images as well. Just send them a nasty email and chances are they'll remove the link ...

I've found many times photos are hotlinked from a message board in India or something. In this case after the thread gets buried the hits will slowly stop coming.

Ecksent · 11-28-2004, 01:42 AM

Hey guys I appericate all your help. I found out where it was coming from, so I sent him a pretty nasty e-mail. Hopefully that will settle things down. Thanks again.

Aquarius · 11-28-2004, 01:46 AM

want me to DDoS him with my 5000 zombies?

j/k

Ecksent · 11-28-2004, 01:56 AM

LOL....nice! Jace, you know I'm not a big time playa yet like you. HA! That's all I need for the moment. This webmaster thing will take time, so I'll hook it up when the time is right. What is a normal bandwith limit anyways? At the risk of looking like an ass......

Try h2oh-hosting.com

75 gigs of bandwidth a month for about $13 ...

And use .htaccess, of course.

Red Ezra · 11-28-2004, 05:19 AM

great thread - thanks!

dude, 10gb of hosting is nothing....you should not pay more than $4-5 a month for that

on www.webair.com for example, you can get 50gb for $9.95...

just FYI, an email will not get them to stop hotlinking...you will NEED the htaccess

Ecksent · 11-28-2004, 10:16 AM

HA! Just got an email back apologizing for hotlinking. Still gonna use the .htaccess though. I'll look into some new hosting too. I think I'm getting screwed on th file transfer limit. Though my hosting hasn't billed me in 6 months. Suckers!!!
