Hotlink Protection

[Anya]

Hello... I want to use the Hotlink protection in the cPanel but I'm not sure how to go about doing it. I did read the tutorial on the SG FAQ.

In order to allow certain file types to be accessed, please enter their extensions in the space provided - this way you can allow other websites to reach for your images, but disallow video or audio files from being accessed.

I don't understand this instruction. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks...

it means allowing certain file extensions, for example, if you want only .gif images to be hotlinked, enter .gif

Or, if you only want .jpg images to be hotlinked, enter .jpg

ETC.

So if I put .jpg into that small little box in the CPanel, it means the all the .jpg files on my site can be hotlinked to?

Thanks... :)

correct.

One more "doh" question to ask...
If I create an email in the CPanel, where do I go to log into the email acct???

To log into webmail, go to www.yourdomain.com/webmail

Type your full e-mail address and password in the popup box.
